The Masherbrum Mountains (Urdu: {{nq|ما شربرم پہاڑیاں) are a subrange of the Karakoram mountains, located in Ghanche District in the Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
The Masherbrum Mountains are located on the south side of the Baltoro Glacier. The southern side of the range, in the Indus River basin, is drained by the Hushe River.
While not as famous as the Baltoro Muztagh mountains, which lies across the Baltoro Glacier, the Masherbrum Mountains contain some of the highest peaks in the world (highest 7821m (25,659feet)). They attract climbers from around the planet.
The following is a table of the peaks in the Masherbrum Mountains which are over 7200m (23,600feet) in elevation and have over 500m (1,600feet) of topographic prominence.(This is a common criterion for peaks of this stature to be independent.)
