Main article: Mountain peaks of North America
See also: Most prominent mountain peaks of North America and Most isolated mountain peaks of North America

The following sortable table lists the 122 mountain peaks on Greater North America with at least 4,000 meters (13,123 ft) of topographic elevation and at least 500 meters (1,640 ft) of topographic prominence.

This article defines Greater North America as the northern portion of the continental landmass of the Americas extending from the Panama to Alaska plus the islands surrounding North America. This article defines the Islands of North America to include the coastal islands of North America, the islands of the Caribbean Sea, The Bahamas, the Bermuda Islands, Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and its surrounding islands, the islands of Northern Canada, the islands of Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, and the islands of the northeastern Pacific Ocean.

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 major mountain peak as a summit with at least 500 meters (1,640 ft) of topographic prominence. An ultra prominent peak is a summit with at least 1,500 meters (4,921 ft) of topographic prominence.

Of these 122 highest major summits, 101 are located in the United States, 17 in Canada, 9 in México, and 2 in Guatemala. Seven of these summits lie on an international border.
