Skredahøin (also referred to as Skredho and Skredhøis) is a mountain in Lesja Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 2,004-metre (6,575 ft) tall mountain lies within Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the village of Dombås. The mountain is surrounded by several other mountains including Storstyggesvånåtinden which is about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north, Snøhetta which is about 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) to the northeast, Einøvlingseggen which is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the southeast, Mjogsjøoksli which is about 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) to the southwest, and Mjogsjøhøi which is about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the west.

Skredahøin lies in an active seismic region and hence experiences frequent earthquakes, including one on 24 March 2012 with a magnitude of 3.2 on the Ritcher Scale and its centre was 305.3 kilometres (189.7 mi) away for the mountain.
