List of mountain peaks of Hawaii

Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaiʻi is the highest peak in the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi and the entire Pacific Ocean. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on Earth as measured from base to summit.

This article comprises three sortable tables of the 13 major mountain peaks^[a] of the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi. Each of these 13 major summits has at least 500 meters (1640 feet)^* of topographic prominence.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.^[1] The first table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic elevation.
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^[2]^[1] The second table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic prominence.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.^[3] The third table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic isolation.

Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet)^* elevation, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet)^*, Hualalai exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet)^*, and 11 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet)^* elevation.

Four of these peaks rise on the island of Hawaiʻi, two on Maui, two on Kauaʻi, two on Molokaʻi, two on Oʻahu, and one on Lānaʻi.
