List of mountain peaks of California

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks^[a] of the U.S. State of California.

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.^[b][c] The first table below ranks the 50 highest major summits of California by elevation.
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^[d][c] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of California.
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.^[e] The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of California.
