Westmount Summit (French: Sommet de Westmount) is one of the three peaks of Mount Royal (along with Mount Royal proper and Outremont) located in the City of Westmount, Quebec, Canada. Part of the geographical summit is located adjacent to the Montreal borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

The highest point is approximately 201 metres (659 ft) above sea-level, surrounded by a larger plateau of relatively level terrain before giving way to steeper slopes on all sides.[1]

A lookout is located on its southern face, providing views over Westmount, Montreal, the south shore and the Eastern Townships. Saint Joseph's Oratory is on the northern side, on Queen Mary Road in Côte-des-Neiges.
