List of mountains of New Zealand by height
The following are lists of mountains in New Zealand[1] ordered by height. Names, heights, topographic prominence and isolation, and coordinates were extracted from the official Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) Topo50 topographic maps at the interactive topographic map of New Zealand site.
Named summits over 2,900 m
All summits over 2,900 m are within the Southern Alps, a chain that forms the backbone of the South Island, and all but one (Mount Aspiring) are within a 10-mile radius of Aoraki / Mount Cook. Some of these summits are mere shoulders on the ridges of Aoraki and Mount Tasman.

The 100 highest mountains
These are all the mountains over 2,400 m with a topographic prominence (drop) of at least 300 m (985 ft), closely matching those on the list of mountains of New Zealand by the New Zealand Alpine Club. Five peaks overlooked on that list are indicated with an asterisk. Of these 100 mountains, all but two — Ruapehu (Tahurangi Peak) (19th highest) and Mount Taranaki / Egmont (65th highest) — are in the South Island. Tapuae-o-Uenuku, in the Kaikoura Ranges, is the highest peak outside the Southern Alps.

Notes
- ↑ These lists exclude mountains in the Ross Dependency, an area of Antarctica claimed by and administered by New Zealand, though could include the similarly claimed and administered Balleny Islands. These claims are in abeyance, in accord with the Antarctic Treaty. If mountains in the Ross Dependency were included in this list, several notable peaks would appear in the upper part of this list, including Mount Erebus which, at 3795 m (12,451 ft), would outrank Aoraki / Mount Cook, and the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land.
- ↑ In the absence of a height for the key col , the prominence is estimated from contour lines and presented in italics.
- ↑ The high peak of Aoraki was 3764 m high until 14 December 1991, when a massive rock/ice collapse broke off 10 meters. Subsequent erosion of the exposed ice cap reduced its height by a further 30 m as of November 2013.
- ↑ First ascent dates and parties were mostly extracted from the National Route database at Climb NZ
- ↑ Highest peak outside the Southern Alps
- 1 2 In the Inland Kaikoura Range
- ↑ Highest peak on the North Island
- 1 2 Brodrick Peak and Mount Mannering are equally high summits separated by the 2,400 m Whataroa Saddle (269 m drop)
