Prokletije is a mountain range in eastern Montenegro, southern Serbia and northern Albania, the highest point of which is Lake Crest, the tallest peak in the Dinaric Alps, at 2692 m. Other peaks include Mt. Đeravica (Serbia) at 2656 m.

Most of the area of the mountain on the northern side is a 1000 km² nature park in Serbia.

Its name is Serbian for "the damned" (plural), likely referring to their rugged and inhospitable nature. In Albanian it is called "Bjeshkët e Nemuna".
