The Cordillera de Mérida is a series of mountain ranges, or massif, in northwestern Venezuela.

The ranges runs from southwest to northeast and parts lie within each of the following states: Táchira, Mérida, Barinas, Trujillo, Portuguesa and Lara.

At the northeast tip of the massif lies the town of Barquisimeto and the headwaters of the River Cojedes.

Pico Bolívar, at 4,981 meters elevation (16,342 feet), is the highest peak in Venezuela.

Most of the ranges are covered by Venezuelan Andes montane forests, although the highest elevations (above 3,100 meters) are above tree line.
