The following is a list of mountains in North Macedonia. North Macedonia is a predominantly mountainous country. The average elevation of the terrain is 850 meters. Approximately 80% of the country consists of hills and mountains. The mountains are divided into two basic groups: on the one hand in the North-West the Šar Mountains mountain range that continues to the ''West Vardar/Pelagonia mountain range'' in the South-West and South (contiguous with the Dinaric Alps, Dinaric ranges). On the other hand, in the South-East the Osogovo-Belasica mountain chain (westernmost section of the Rila-Rhodope Mountains).
The Šar Mountains and ''West Vardar/Pelagonia'' mountain range is a continuation between the Dinaric Alps to the north and Pindus mountain ranges to the south, whereas the Osogovo-Belasica mountain chain is a continuation of the Rila-Rhodope Mountains, Rhodopes mountain massif.
