List of highest points of African countries
This page lists the highest natural elevation of each sovereign state on the continent of Africa defined physiographically.
Not all points in this list are mountains or hills, some are simply elevations that are not distinguishable as geographical features.
Notes are provided where territorial disputes or inconsistencies affect the listings. Egypt has part of their territory and their high point outside of Africa; their non-Asian high point are listed with a N/A rank entry underneath their continental peak. On the other hand, Spain has part of their territory and their high point inside of Africa.
One partially recognized country with the highest point in Africa is listed and ranked in Italic. For more details see List of states with limited recognition.
