Musala (Bulgarian: Мусала) is the highest mountain in Bulgaria and the entire Balkan Peninsula in southeast Europe.

The name derives from Mus Allah, "the mountain of Allah", being so named during the period when Bulgaria was part of the Islamic Ottoman Empire.

Musala is situated within the Rila National Park. It is noted for its rich flora, including species such as Macedonian Pine and Bulgarian Fir in the forests on its middle slopes, and fauna; it is one of the easiest places in Europe to see the Wallcreeper. The easiest climb is by a straightforward footpath from the ski resort of Borovets, 10 km to the north; there is also a chairlift from Borovets to 2,250 m altitude and several mountain chalets.
