The Jálama is a 1,487-metre (4,879 ft) mountain in western Spain.

In the local language of the NE corner of Cáceres province the mountain is known as Xálima. Both names probably come from Paleohispanic languages. The Jálama valley is home to a Galician-like language known as Fala.

The mountain is located on the border between the provinces of Cáceres (autonomous community of Extremadura) and Salamanca (Castile and León). It's one of the highest peaks of the mountain range called Serra de Xálima. Its summit offers a good view on Salamanca's upland.

Around 3 km NE from the summit, the Arroyo de la Cervigona waters create a 60 m waterfall, the highest in the area.

The summit can be accessed from Acebo, through the Mirador de La Ventosa (794 m) and the mountain pass of Puerto de Perales.
