The Castejón Mountains (Spanish: Montes de Castejón) are a mountain range in the Cinco Villas comarca, Aragon, Spain, located about 30 km to the north of Zaragoza. They are named after the town of Castejón de Valdejasa in the midst of the range.

The Castejón Mountains are covered with low and mostly sparse forest made up mainly Carrasca (Quercus ilex) and pine trees, often subject to wildfires during droughts.[2] The ridge's highest summit is Esteban (747 m). Other important summits are Guarizo (745 m), Pogallinero (639 m), Escalerilla (585 m) and Lomaza (476 m).

The northwestern part of the range is also known as Sierra de Erla, after the town of Erla, located further north,[3] or as Montes de Sora, after the Sora Castle.[4]

There are also wind turbines installed in some of the upper ridges.
