The following sortable table comprises the 150 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of Canada.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
Mount Logan exceeds of topographic prominence. Five peaks of Canada exceed , 11 exceed , 41 exceed , and 143 ultra-prominent summits exceed of topographic prominence.
