Montalto (correctly spelled as Monte Alto or Mont'Alto, in English High Mountain) is a mountain located in Tuscany, Italy and part of the Apuan Alps range. Its highest peak is at roughly 913 meters above the sea level and it is also home of two villages, Retignano and Volegno, in the municipality of Stazzema, Province of Lucca.

Montalto was exploited in the past for its well-known marble quarries, opened during the ninteenth century. More recently it was selected for its strategic position to be part of the Gothic Line, during World War II.
