The following are lists of mountains in New Zealand[a] ordered by height. Names, heights, topographic prominence and isolation, and coordinates were extracted from the official Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) Topo50 topographic maps at the interactive topographic map of New Zealand site.
Mountains are referred to as maunga in the Māori language.
Named summits over 2,900 m
All summits over 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) are within the Southern Alps, a chain that forms the backbone of the South Island, and all but one (Mount Aspiring / Tititea) are within a 10-mile (16 km) radius of Aoraki / Mount Cook. Some of these summits are mere shoulders on the ridges of Aoraki and Mount Tasman.
Gordon Hasell was the first person who, by 1960, had climbed all New Zealand's peaks above 10,000 feet. The achievement mentions 27 peaks and is thus counts individual peaks that may make up one mountain, e.g. Mount Haast has three individual peaks that are all above that height.[1][2]

The 100 highest mountains
These are all the mountains over 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) with a topographic prominence (drop) of at least 300 metres (980 ft), closely matching those on the list of mountains of New Zealand by the New Zealand Alpine Club. Five peaks overlooked on that list are indicated with an asterisk. Of these 100 mountains, all but two — Ruapehu (Tahurangi Peak) (19th highest) and Mount Taranaki (65th highest) — are in the South Island. Tapuae-o-Uenuku, in the Kaikōura Ranges, is the highest peak outside the Southern Alps.
