Template:Geobox The White Carpathians (Czech: Bílé Karpaty; Slovak: Biele Karpaty) is the westernmost mountain range of the Carpathian Mountains.

They are part of the Slovak-Moravian Western Carpathians, stretching from the Váh river and the Little Carpathians in the south along the border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the Morava and the Javorníky range in the north. The highest mountain is Veľká Javorina (Czech: Velká Javořina) at Template:Unit height, followed by Chmeľová at Template:Unit height, Makyta at Template:Unit height, and Veľký Lopeník at Template:Unit height.

There is a protected landscape area on both sides of the mountains: Biele Karpaty Protected Landscape Area in Slovakia, founded in 1979, and Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area in the Czech Republic, founded in 1980, a Man and Biosphere Reserve since 1996. The areas contain a wide variety of fauna and flora. Some species found there are endemic. Especially some types of orchids grow only in the meadows of the White Carpathians.
