Rantemario (Indonesian: Bulu Rantemario) is a mountain located in the province of South Sulawesi, Sulawesi, Indonesia. At 3,478 metres (11,411 ft), it is the highest mountain on the island,[1][2] although some sources state Mount Rantekombola as the highest point.

Locally, Rantemario is more commonly referred to as Latimojong. Latimojong can also designate the local mountain range and wilderness area of which Rantemario is the highest peak.

Rantemario can be climbed from the village of Kerangan and has eight designated "Pos" staging points, some of which are suitable for camping and have access to water. The nearest town is Baraka, 8 km off the main highway between Makassar and Tana Toraja.
