Calf Crag is a fell in the English Lake District, on the eastern side of the High Raise massif.
The fell is bounded by Wythburndale to the north and by its upper gathering grounds to the west. Far Easedale lies to the south while the head of Greenburn forms the eastern face, both of these sides being craggy.
The summit plateau, about a mile across, sends two narrow eastern ridges to the north and south of Greenburn Bottom. The former leads to Steel Fell, while the southern spur passes over Gibson Knott before ending at Helm Crag. Southwest from Calf Crag the ground rises over rocky terrain to Sergeant Man and High Raise, although this could hardly be termed a ridge.
Paths on the fell follow the routes to Steel Fell, Gibson Knott and Sergeant Man. A bridleway passes southwest of the top, dropping from Greenup Edge as it carries the Coast to Coast route from Borrowdale to Far Easedale. The summit is a rocky outcrop with the best views being to the east and south. A tarn lies between here and a subsidiary top to the west.
