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. Some countries such as Denmark (Greenland), Netherlands (Saba), Spain (Canary Islands) and Portugal (Azores Islands) have part of their territory and their high points outside of Europe; their non-European high points are mentioned in the Notes.

For more details about Serbian and Kosovan highest points and ranks, see list of mountains in Kosovo.

Three other entries of partially recognized countries with highest points in Europe are listed and ranked in italics. For more details see list of states with limited recognition.

[de] Liste höchster Erhebungen der Staaten Europas

Diese Seite listet die höchste natürliche Erhebung jedes souveränen Staates auf dem europäischen Kontinent auf, die physiographisch definiert ist. Staaten, die politisch und kulturell mit Europa oder der EU assoziiert sind, jedoch nicht geographisch mindestens teilweise zu Europa gehören, sind in dieser Liste mit farbigem Hintergrund erfasst. Berge, die je nach Definition der Kontinentgrenzen zu Europa gezählt werden, haben ebenfalls eine Hintergrundmarkierung. Nicht alle Punkte in dieser Liste sind Berge oder Hügel, einige sind einfach Erhebungen, die nicht als geographische Merkmale auffällig sind.
