Gunung Sibayak is a small volcano overlooking the town of Brastagi in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Although its last eruption was more than a century ago, geothermal activity in the form of steam vents and hot springs remains high on and around the volcano. The vents produce crystalline sulfur, which was mined on a small scale in the past. Seepage of sulfurous gases has also caused acidic discolouration of the small crater lake.

The Gunung Sibayak ("Gunung" means mountain, while "Sibayak" is a term from the Batak Karo language referring to a founding community) is relatively easy to climb and became a tourist attraction already in colonial times.
