This article comprises three sortable tables of the 12 major mountain peaks of the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi.

Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.

This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence. There are 126 ultra-prominent summits in the United States.

The following sortable table lists the 12 highest mountain peaks of the Hawaiian Islands with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
