List of mountains on the Moon

This is a list of named mountains on the Moon.

The heights listed below are not consistent across sources. In the 1960s, the U.S. Army Mapping Service used elevation relative to 1,737,988 meters from the center of the Moon. In the 1970s, the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency used 1,730,000 meters. The Clementine topographic data published in the 1990s uses 1,737,400 meters.

This table is not comprehensive, and does not list the highest places on the Moon. Clementine data show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon. The highest point, located on the far side of the Moon, is approximately 6,500 meters higher than Mons Huygens (usually listed as the tallest mountain).
