Mount Ararat (also Mount Masis after the Armenian name Մասիս; Turkish Ağrı Dağı; see below details on names) is a snow-capped, dormant volcanic cone in Anatolia. It has two peaks, Greater Ararat being the tallest peak in Turkey, and the entire Armenian Highland plateau, at an elevation of 5,165 m (16,946 ft). Lesser Ararat has an elevation of 3,896 m (12,782 ft).

Mount Ararat is located in the Iğdır Province,the easternmost province of Turkey's Eastern Anatolia Region. Its summit is located some 16 km (10 mi) west of the Iranian and 32 km (20 mi) south of the Armenian border. The Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan is also in close proximity to the mountain. The Ararat plain runs along its northwest to western side.

Mount Ararat in Judeo-Christian tradition is associated with the "Mountains of Ararat" where according to the book of Genesis, Noah's ark came to rest.
