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 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-Rhodopes mountain massif.

Šar mountain range:

• Šar Mountains
• Mount Korab
• Mount Bistra
• Stogovo
• Dešat

• Nidže
• Kožuf

Osogovo-Belasica mountain range:

The mountains in the Osogovo-Belasica group are older mountains. They are spread across the eastern part of Macedonia. The mountains in the Šar Mountains group are younger mountains, situated in the western and central part of the country. They are divided in 3 subgroups: area around the Vardar river, area around Pelagonia valley and the area in the north-western part of the country.

There are three national parks protected by law in Macedonia: Pelister, Mavrovo and Galichica.

Северная Македония — преимущественно горная страна. Средняя высота местности составляет 832 метра[1]. Примерно 80 % территории страны состоит из холмов и гор. Горы делятся на две основные группы: с одной стороны, на северо-западе — горный хребет Шар, который продолжается до горного хребта Западный Вардар / Пелагония на юго-западе и юге (граничит с хребтами Динар). С другой стороны, на юго-востоке — горная цепь Осогово-Беласица (самый западный участок гор Рила-Родопы).
