This is a list of mountains in Bulgaria.

Mountains constitute a significant part of the country's area and are dominant in the southwest and central parts. Bulgaria's highest mountains are Rila (highest peak Musala, 2925 m; the highest in the Balkans) and Pirin (highest peak Vihren, 2914 m). The large mountain chain of Stara planina (Balkan Mountains) runs west-east through the entire country, bisecting it into two and giving the name to the whole Balkan peninsula. Other large mountains are the massifs Rhodopes and Strandzha in the south.
