This is an incomplete list of notable mountains on Earth, sorted by elevation in metres above sea level. For a complete list of mountains over 7200 m high, with at least 500 m of prominence, see List of highest mountains. See also a list of mountains ranked by prominence.
The table below lists the highest 100 summits with at least 500 m (1,640 ft) prominence, approximating a 7% relative prominence. A drawback of a prominence-based list is that it may exclude well-known or spectacular mountains that are connected via a high ridge to a taller summit, such as Eiger, Nuptse or Annapurna IV.

Some well-known peaks listed here do not score highly by prominence.
The default table ranking is by height, so where the table is sorted by for example Region, the table will list the mountains within each Region by order of height. Regional Top: The highest mountain in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or the Isle of Man
