Cerro de la Silla (Spanish for Saddle Hill), named for its distinctive saddle-shaped profile when viewed from the west, is a famous symbol of the landscape of the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. Located in the cities of Monterrey and Guadalupe, it covers an area of 60.5 km² (23 square miles). The mountain has four peaks: Pico Antena, Pico Norte, Pico Sur and Pico la Virgen; Pico Norte is the highest at 1820 m while Pico la Virgen is the lowest at 1750 m.

Set aside as a Natural Monument by the government of Mexico in 1991, the hill is a popular recreational area and is often climbed by hikers who take a 2.5 kilometre (1.6 mile) trail to reach the top. The ascent is considered fairly difficult, requiring approximately 3 hours to complete, but the panoramic view of the metropolitan area of Monterrey makes the climb worth the effort.
