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 12 major mountain peaks^[1] of the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi. Each of these 12 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:

1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.^[2] The first table below ranks the 12 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic elevation.
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^[3][2] The second table below ranks the 12 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic prominence.
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.^[4] The third table below ranks the 12 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic isolation.

Highest major summits

Of the 12 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), ten peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet), and all 12 peaks exceed 700 meters (2297 feet) elevation.

Three 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.

1. 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 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
2. If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
3. The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
4. The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.
5. The summit of Mauna Kea is the highest point of the Island of Hawaiʻi, the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi, and all islands of the Pacific Ocean. Mauna Kea is also the tallest mountain on Earth as measured from base to summit. The shield volcano sits on the ocean floor at a depth of 5998 meters (19,678 feet) for a total height of 10,205.3 meters (33,482 feet).
