阿巴拉契亚山脉（英语：Appalachian Mountains，发音：
i/ˌæpəˈleɪʃ(i)ən/ AP-ə-LAY-sh(ee-)ən），又译阿帕拉契山脉，是北美洲东部的一座山系。南起美国的阿拉巴马州，北至加拿大的纽芬兰和拉布拉多省。最北部余脉则延伸到魁北克的加斯佩地区。平均海拔910米（3000英尺）。最高峰在北卡罗莱纳州的米切尔峰（2037米）。
构成阿巴拉契亚山脉的有纽芬兰省的长岭山、魁北克的圣母山、缅因州的朗费罗山、新罕布夏州的怀特山、佛蒙特州的绿山山脉、塔科尼克山脉；马萨诸塞州的伯克希尔山脉；跨宾夕法尼亚州、马里兰州和西佛吉尼亚州三州的阿勒格尼山脉；跨宾夕法尼亚州、马里兰州、西弗吉尼亚州以及弗吉尼亚州四州的阿巴拉契亚岭谷。还有从宾夕法尼亚州南部到佐治亚州北部的蓝岭山脉。
实际上阿巴拉契高地严格的边界范围存有争议，阿第伦达克山脉一般被认为是属于加拿大地盾，而非阿帕拉契高地。

Newfoundland is generally considered the northernmost point of the Appalachian range. Therefore, the Appalachians run through the lone remaining North American territory of France.

The foundations of the Appalachian-Ouachita orogen were laid when the assembly of supercontinent Rodinia was completed. The collisional events were accompanied by high-grade metamorphism and magmatism during the Grenville orogeny in the time span of 1300–950 Ma.
