This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks 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. 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. 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. The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Canada.

Highest major summits

Of the 100 highest major summits of Canada, five peaks exceed 5000 metres (16,404 feet) elevation, 19 peaks exceed 4000 metres (13,123 feet), 67 peaks exceed 3000 metres (9843 feet), and all 100 peaks equal or exceed 2706 metres (8878 feet) elevation.

Of these 100 peaks, 61 are located in British Columbia, 28 in Yukon, 13 in Alberta, and one in the Northwest Territories. Five of these peaks lie on the international border between Yukon and Alaska, four lie on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, three lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and one lies on the border between British Columbia and Yukon.
