Main article: List of mountain peaks of the Caribbean

Pico Duarte is the highest point in the Dominican Republic, the Island of Hispaniola, and the entire Caribbean.

The following is a sortable table of the seven ultra prominent mountain peaks on the islands of the Caribbean Sea. There are five such peaks on Hispaniola and one each on Jamaica and Cuba.

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

This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence.
