Volovec (in Slovak) or Wołowiec (in Polish) is a mountain in the Western Tatras at the border of Slovakia and Poland. It lies on the Main Ridge of Western Tatras between Ostrý Roháč and mountain Deravá, standing over three valleys: Chochołowską, Roháčska and Jamnícka.

It offers views over the Polish Western Tatras, and Slovak Roháče. Janusz Chmielowski wrote in 1898: "The summit is extremely interesting , in the south rises the jagged group of Rohacz / Roháče , toward the east the High Tatras just like a giant rocky island On the north stands the dome of Babia Góra. On the west lie below the Roháčske Ponds."
