Melungtse (; ; ; other English spelling: Menlungtse) is the highest mountain of the Rolwaling Himal in the Himalayas.
The peak has a long summit ridge capped by the east (main) summit and the west summit, also known as Melungtse II, at 7,023 m. The mountain's steep faces make it more difficult than its elevation would suggest.
