Volcanoes in Mexico form a significant part of the country's geological landscape, with numerous active and extinct volcanoes scattered throughout the nation. These volcanoes are primarily located within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, a major volcanic arc in North America that extends across central-southern Mexico. The diverse array of volcanic features in Mexico includes stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, cinder cones, lava domes, and calderas.

Many of Mexico's volcanoes are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Notable volcanoes in Mexico include Popocatépetl, one of the country's most active and dangerous volcanoes, Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl), the highest peak in Mexico, and Parícutin, a cinder cone volcano that famously emerged from a cornfield in 1943. Mexican volcanoes play a significant role in the country's geography, climate, and culture, influencing local ecosystems, agriculture, and human settlements. The volcanic activity also poses potential hazards to surrounding communities, necessitating ongoing monitoring and disaster preparedness efforts.
