Mont Saint-Quentin overlooks the Somme River in the region of Picardie approximately 1.5 km north of the town of Péronne, Somme, France. The hill is about 100 metres high but as it is situated in a bend of the river it dominates the whole position and is of strategic significance. During World War I, it was a key to the German defence of the Somme line and was the last German stronghold. Its location made it an ideal observation point, and strategically, the hill's defences guarded the north and western approaches to the town of Péronne. It was the site of the Battle of Mont Saint-Quentin from 31 August to 2 September 1918.

- Le mont Saint-Quentin, dans le département de la Somme en Picardie, surplombe le fleuve côtier Somme du Nord de la France, à environ 1,5 km au nord du centre-ville de Péronne. Il a donné son nom à la commune de Mont-Saint-Quentin qui a fusionné avec la commune de Péronne en 1962. La colline culmine à environ 100 mètres d'altitude, mais comme elle est située près d'un méandre de la rivière, elle domine les alentours et revêt une importance stratégique. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, c'est un point clé de la défense allemande de la ligne de la Somme qui a constitué le dernier bastion allemand. Son emplacement en fait un point d'observation idéal et stratégiquement, les défenses de la colline gardaient les approches nord et ouest de la ville de Péronne. Elle a été le site de la bataille du mont Saint-Quentin du 31 août au 2 septembre 1918, faisant partie de l'offensive des Cent-Jours qui a été suivie par l'enfoncement de la ligne Hindenburg, à l'origine de la capitulation allemande du 11 novembre suivant.
