Fold mountains are mountains that form mainly by the effects of folding on layers within the upper part of the Earth's crust. Before either plate tectonic theory developed, or the internal architecture of thrust belts became well understood, the term was used for most mountain belts, such as the Himalayas.

Fold mountains are the relief features that are formed due to the movements that caused the building of these mountains, that includes the horizontal movements causing the earth's crust to wrinkle and lead to the formation of anticline and syncline.

The term "fold" here refers to the method in which food mountains are formed. Few examples of fold mountains are:-
1. Himalayas
2. Rockies
3. Andes
