Riticunca (possibly from Quechua rit'i snow, kunka throat, "snow throat", also spelled Riticunca) is a mountain in the Andes of Peru, about 5000 m high. It is located in the Puno Region, Carabaya Province, Crucero District, and in the Sandia Province, Patambuco District, northwest of the mountain Laramani.

The lake Jochajucho is situated in the Ritipata valley southeast of the mountain.
