Besshøe is a mountain in Vågå Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The tall mountain is located in the Jotunheimen mountains within Jotunheimen National Park. The mountain sits about southwest of the village of Vågåmo and about northwest of the village of Beitostølen. The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Kollhøin to the north, Veslfjellet and Besseggen to the southeast, Bukkehåmåren and Eggi to the south, and Gloptinden to the west.

The mountain lies right above the lake Bessvatnet, along the Besseggen hiking trail. On the mountain's north-eastern side is a small cirque glacier, and it is surrounded by a large ice-cored moraine, a relatively rare feature in Norway.
