thumb|250px|Dome-like rounded mogotes in Viñales Valley, [[Cuba.]]

A mogote () is a generally isolated, steep-sided residual hill in the tropics composed of either limestone, marble, or dolomite. Mogotes are surrounded by nearly flat alluvial plains. The hills typically have a rounded, tower-like form.
