The following sortable table comprises the 150 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of Canada.

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 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, away. 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.

Mount Logan exceeds of topographic prominence. Five peaks of Canada exceed , 11 exceed , 41 exceed and 143 ultra-prominent peaks exceed of topographic prominence.
