Mount Lamlam (meaning lightning in Chamoru) is a peak on the United States island of Guam. It is located near the village of Agat ({{convert|5|km|mi|0|abbr=on|disp=or}} north), in the south-west of the island.

Rising to {{convert|406|m|ft|sp=us}} above sea level, the distance from the peak to the bottom of the nearby Mariana Trench is said to be the greatest change in elevation on Earth over such a short distance.One internet site [http://ns.gov.gu/geography.html Geography of Guam] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961027163532/http://ns.gov.gu/geography.html |date=1996-10-27 }} claims the difference is {{convert|37820|ft|m|sigfig=4}}. However, this is measured relative to the Challenger Deep, not the part of the trench adjacent to Guam.
