Sugarloaf Mountain, one of several in the U.S. state of New York with that name, is located in the town of Fishkill near the Hudson River and Breakneck Ridge. It is part of the Hudson Highlands, located entirely within the similarly-named state park. Sugarloaf's summit is 900 feet (270 m) above sea level.

It can be climbed via the Wilkinson Memorial Trail, which has its western trailhead a mile (1.6 km) from the summit on New York State Route 9D along the Hudson River, opposite the Breackneck Ridge station on Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line. The trail climbs gently at first but then steeply as it approaches the summit plateau. At either end there are panoramic views over the river's Newburgh Bay, surrounding mountains and nearby communities.
