Miskat Mountains, also known as Mishkat, is a mountain range in the northeastern region of Bari, Somalia. Aloe miskatana which occurs in the mountain range is named after it.[1]

Since 2017, the mountain range has been occupied by and serves as the headquarters of IS-S, a Jihadist group fighting in the Somali Civil War (2009-present).[2]
