Standing stone in Greenrath is a standing stone in Greenrath, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a 1.23 metre tall limestone marker, 0.35 metres by 0.25 metres at its base, pointing northeast to southwest on a southeast-facing slope. Cattle have rubbed parts of its rough surface smooth and worn a shallow depression in the ground around its base.

It tapers to a point at the top. The standing stone has a rough surface, except where it has been abraded by cattle and there is a depression around the base of the stone due to cattle erosion.
