}}Poston Butte is a hill located along Hunt Highway in Florence, Pinal County, Arizona, United States,[3] near the eastern end of the Santan Mountains.[4] Geologically, it is characterized by basalts overlying altered granite.[5]

This hill is noted for having the pyramidal tomb of Charles Debrille Poston at its summit. Poston lobbied President Lincoln and Congress to create the Territory of Arizona[6] and was appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs because of his familiarity with the Native populations of the area.[7] The tomb can be accessed by a {{convert|0.6|mi|adj=on}} trail starting from the trailhead near Hunt Highway.[8]
