The Dents de Lanfon (French: Teeth of Lanfon) are a small chain of mountains in eastern France rising to 1824 m. Situated beneath Talloires on the east bank of Lac d'Annecy in Haute-Savoie, they are framed by mount Veyrier (1,291 m) in the north, and by La Tournette (2,351 m) in the south.

The impressive slopes of the Dents de Lanfon and their position above Lac d'Annecy make them a classic destination for climbers.
