List of mountain peaks of the Caribbean

Main article: Geography of the Caribbean

Pico Duarte is the highest point in the Dominican Republic, the Island of Hispaniola, and the entire Caribbean.

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the islands of the Caribbean Sea.

Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation.

This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (330 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1,600 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) of topographic prominence. There are seven ultra-prominent summits in the Caribbean.
