Middle Palisade is a peak in the Palisades group, part of the central Sierra Nevada Mountains in the US state of California. It rises to 14,012 feet (4,271 m), and is the twelfth highest peak in the state.

Several routes involving exposed scrambling and/or easy technical rock climbing (class 4) exist on the various flanks of Middle Palisade. Some routes involve travel on the Middle Palisade Glacier. The easiest route involves scrambling (class 3) up a chute in the east face of the peak.[3]
