The Monte Cinto massif is one of the main massifs in the island of Corsica, France, taking its name from the highest mountain in Corsica, Monte Cinto.
It is the northernmost and highest of the four massifs that form the spine of the island.
The massif is mostly in the Haute-Corse department, but the southwest of the massif is in the Corse-du-Sud department.
