The Signalberg is a mountain in the Upper Palatinate Forest . It is located in the municipality of Weiding in the Upper Palatinate district of Schwandorf , Bavaria between Weiding and Schneeberg .

Depending on the source, the height of the Signalberg is given as 890 m, 886 m or 888 m. The Signalberg and the 896 m high Weingartenfels are the two highest peaks in the district.

The Signalberg is the middle and highest mountain of the Frauenstein-Schneeberg massif. The Frauenstein-Schneeberg massif extends north-south between the Aschatal in the west and the valley formed by Hüttenbach and Bayerischer Schwarzach in the east.

The Markbrunnen, the source of the Markbach, is located on the south-eastern slope of the Signalberg. The Pondorfbach rises on its south-western slope and the Schleifbach on its southern slope.

There are numerous gneiss cliffs on the summit of the Signalberg. This is the so-called Dachsbau, a geotope with the number 37A036.
