List of mountains in Montana

This is a list of mountains in the state of Montana.

The name "Montana" means mountainous in Latin.

Representative James Mitchell Ashley (R-Ohio), suggested the name when legislation organizing the territory was passed by the United States Congress in 1864.

Ashley noted that a mining camp in the Colorado Territory had already used the name, and Congress agreed to use the name for the new territory.
