En wainwright er en topp i den engelske nasjonalparken Lake District som har omtale i Alfred Wainwrights syvbindsverk Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells.[1][2] Toppene er lokalt kjent som fells.[2][1]
I bokverket sitt beskrev Wainwright i alt 214 topper, som har fått hans navn som samlebetegnelse.[1][2][3][4] Det er ingen krav til absolutt høyde eller primærfaktor, kun at Wainwright mente de var verdt å ta med.
I 1974 ga Alfred Wainwright ut supplementsbindet The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, der han beskriver ytterligere 116 topper.[4]

Each of the books describes each of the fells and the area which surrounds it, with plenty of helpful information and beautiful hand-drawn pictures.»
