This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of Canada.

Thumb
Mount Logan in the Saint Elias Mountains of Yukon is the highest summit of Canada.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.[2] The first table below ranks the 100 highest major summits of Canada by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[2][3] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Canada.
  3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4] The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Canada.
