Tantalus is an extinct cinder cone in the southern Kookinaolau Range on the Hawaiian Island of Ookinaahu. It also has a summit crater, Tantalus Crater. The cinder cone formed after the demise of Kookinaolau Volcano, during a time of rejuvenated stage volcanism in southeastern Ookinaahu that also formed Punchbowl Crater, Diamond Head and Koko Head. Tantalus overlooks the modern city of Honolulu, which is built on top of Tantalus cinders.

Today, Tantalus is a popular hiking destination.
