The Dent d'Hérens (4,173 m) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps , lying on the border between Italy and Switzerland. The mountain lies a few kilometres west of the Matterhorn .

Notable summits along the east ridge are Punta Bianca (3917 m), the prominent Punta Carrel (3841 m) with its subpeak Punta Maquignaz, and the significant Punta Maria Cristina (3703 m).

The Aosta hut (2,781 m) is used for the normal route.

The mountain takes its name from the Val d'Hérens, a valley located further to the north. The original name was probably the Dent Blanche , which is now that of the nearby Dent Blanche which overlooks the Val d'Hérens.
