This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaksThis article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least {{convert|100|m|1|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least {{convert|500|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} 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 {{convert|1500|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} of topographic prominence. of the nation of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat). Kalaallit Nunaat includes the Island of Greenland and surrounding islands.
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.If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown. The first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Greenland by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, {{convert|7642|km|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} away. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Greenland.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major summits of Greenland.

Highest major summits
{{GeoGroup|section=Highest major summits}}
Of the highest major summits of Greenland, four peaks exceed {{convert|3000|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} elevation and 24 peaks equal or exceed {{convert|2000|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} elevation. 29, or about three-quarters, of these peaks are on Greenland's main island, while 11 peaks are on smaller islands off the main island's coast.
