The Lizumer Reckner is, at 2,886 m (AA), the highest mountain in the Tux Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol.
The Lizumer Reckner lies in the centre of the Tux Alps, about 20 kilometres southeast of Innsbruck within the Lizum Walchen Training Area (Truppenübungsplatz Lizum Walchen). To the west lies the Navis valley, to the southeast the Schmirn valley and to the east the Wattener Lizum. The Tuxertal valley lies not far to the southeast. It neighbouring mountain to the south is the Geier. To the north a mountain crest runs to the Lizumer Sonnenspitze, the Tarntaler Köpfe and eventually as far as the Mölsberg. To the west of the Lizumer Reckner is the 2,824 m high Naviser Reckner (47°08′39″N 11°37′27″E / 47.14417°N 11.62417°E).
The Reckner lies on the edge of the Tauern window, a region of the Eastern Alps, in which Penninic nappes and possibly also Helvetic nappes are exposed. The summit block of the Reckner consists of serpentinite, which is mainly embedded in radiolarite. Furthermore, in the geologically diverse surrounding area dolomite breccias, kalkschiefer and other rocks of the Jurassic period.
