The Tarso Voon is a {{convert|3100|m|ft|adj=on}} high stratovolcano in the north of the Republic of Chad. It is located in the western center of the Tibesti Mountains.

The summit of the mountain is dominated by the {{convert|14|x|18|km|adj=on}} relatively flat caldera. Extensive basaltic flows lie on the northeastern side in a 180-degree arc and are a result of the high activity in the Quaternary. In the neighborhood in northwestern direction is the Ehi Mousgau, a stratovolcano with the same elevation, {{convert|3100|m}} above sea level. Deposits from pyroclastic clouds are found {{convert|15|to|35|km}} around the caldera. The mountain was constructed over a basement of Precambrian schists.

The well known Soborom Solfataric field is the largest in the Tibesti Mountains, it is located about {{convert|5|km}} west of the summit rim. The active fumaroles, mudpots and hot springs are visited by the people of the Tibesti for medical purposes.
