Tsavagattaq (East Greenland for "harpoon") is a mountain range in East Greenland's Renland. It is known among mountaineers for its three pointed peaks.
The three summit peaks are the northern tip (at 1882 m the highest; first recorded ascent 1987), the spire in the middle and the lower southern tip.
In the immediate vicinity is the spectacular Grundtvigskirken , which was climbed in 2010 by a Swiss mountaineering group led by Roger Schäli with great media coverage.
