A Pike is a two-handed weapon used in the Redwall series. It essentially consists of a very long spear, about twice normal length. Also, its tip is long compared to its staff length, which made it less effective in close combat or against multiple opponents.

There have been several cases of pikes being used in combat, with the most well known being Lady Cregga Rose Eyes. Her pike also consisted of an axeblade, which made it feasible for cutting as well as thrusting. It is possible that Cregga's 'axepike' was something similar to a halberd.

The pike was also used by Long Patrol members in the time of Martin the Warrior.
