Mount Lesquin is a peak on Île de l'Est, one of the three islands of the Crozet Archipelago in the southwest Indian Ocean, part of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. It is named after Guillaume Lesquin, commander of the ship Aventure, which ran aground off the island in May 1825.
Its southwest face is a rocky cliff dropping into the sea. At 1,012 meters above sea level, it is the highest cliff in the world and holds the record for the highest vertical rock face on Earth.
