The Hochplattig is a mountain, high, and the highest summit in the Mieming Chain, a mountain range in the Northern Limestone Alps in the state of Tyrol, Austria.

== Topography == The Hochplattig lies on the main crest of the Mieming Chain, which runs from the Wannig in the west to the Hohe Munde in the east. Its immediate neighbour to the west is the Eastern Mitterspitze (Östliche Mitterspitze, 2,705 m). To the east are the Alplscharte (2,317 m) and the Hochwand (2,721 m). To the south of the mountain, below its subpeaks, the Gacher Blick (1,909 m) and Judenköpfe (2,021 m), are the Mieming Plateau and Inn valley. To the north, the Ehrwalder Alm separates the Ehrwald Basin from the valley of Gaistal. Here, on the north arête of the Hochplattig, which separates the cirque of Igelskar to the northwest from the Schwarzbachkar cirque to the northeast, is the Breitenkopf (2,469 m). To the north the Hochplattig is characterised by steep rock faces, to the south, steep grassy mountainsides and schrofen terrain dominates.
