# Mountain peaks of Virginia

This article comprises three sortable tables of the major mountain peaks of Virginia. This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
* The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The first table below ranks the major summits of Virginia by elevation.
* The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Virginia.
* The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 11 most isolated major summits of Virginia.
