Montes Pyrenaeus is a mountain range on the Moon. They begin at the southwestern rim of the flooded Gutenberg crater at the northern end and extend southward bordering the eastern edge of Mare Nectaris.
The selenographic coordinates of this range are 15.6° S, 41.2° E, and it lies within a diameter of 164km. Johannes Mädler gave this range the latin name for the Pyrénées Mountains that lie along the border between France and Spain.
