List of extreme summits of the Caribbean

Pico Duarte is the highest point in the Dominican Republic, the Island of Hispaniola, and the entire Caribbean.
This article comprises four sortable tables of major mountain summits[1] of the Caribbean that are the higher than any other point north or south of their latitude or east or west their longitude in the region.
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.[2]
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[3][2]
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4]

All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
