The Estaragne (Pic d'Estaragne) is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at 3,006 m (9,862 ft) m.

The peak is located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, in the Néouvielle massif, near Saint-Lary-Soulan in the Pyrenees National Park and near the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve.

The etymology of the name "Estaragne" is obscure, although there is a small valley and stream with the same name just to the northeast of the peak.

The peak itself is bare, but the upper slopes have a sub-alpine climate. Meadows predominate with patches of trees and shrubs.

There are at least two relatively easy summer access routes:
