Prokletije (Serbian Cyrillic: Проклетије, pronounced [prɔklɛ̌tijɛ]; Albanian: Bjeshkët e Nemuna; both translated as "cursed mountains"), also known as the Albanian Alps (Alpet Shqiptare) and the Accursed Mountains, is a mountain range on the western Balkan peninsula, extending from northern Albania to Kosovo and eastern Montenegro. Its peak in Albania, Maja Jezercë at 2,694 m (8,839 ft), is the highest point, and the 7th highest peak in Albania.

Both the highest peak in Montenegro, Zla Kolata at 2,534 m (8,314 ft) (which is also partially in Albania) and the highest in Kosovo, Gjeravica at 2,656 m (8,714 ft), are here. The highest peak in Albania, however, is Mount Korab, part of the Korab range, at 2,764 m (9,068 ft) high and in the east of the country on the border with the Republic of Macedonia (making it Macedonia's highest point in addition).

The southernmost glaciers in Europe were recently discovered in the Albanian part of the range. The regional economy is based mainly on agriculture, immigrant remittances and tourism.

Ptolemy mentioned Mons Bertiscus, which has been connected to Prokletije. Bertiscus lives on artificially in the form bertiscae in the scientific names for endemic species that have their locus classicus in the mountains, such as Valeriana bertiscae, Crepis bertiscae and Iris bertiscae.
