Une chaîne de montagnes est un relief d'altitude rassemblant plusieurs montagnes, sommets, pics, monts et autres aiguilles, né soit de la collision de deux plaques continentales, soit de la subduction d’une plaque océanique sous une autre plaque océanique ou continentale. Un chaînon est un sous-ensemble montagneux possédant une seule ligne de crête, contrairement au massif montagneux qui en a plusieurs.
