Massif des Trois-Évêchés (French pronunciation: [masif de tʁwaz‿eveʃe]; Occitan: Massís dei Tres Eveschats; lit. 'Massif of the Three Bishoprics') is a mountain range in the Provence Alps and Prealps in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. Its name comes from the central summit of the massif, the Pic des Trois-Évêchés (so named because it marked the boundary between the dioceses of Digne, Embrun and Senez) where there are ridges to the north, west and south. The highest peak is the Tête de l'Estrop, at 2,961 metres (9,715 ft).
