Matajur () is a mountain in the Julian Alps on the border between Italy and Slovenia. It is located on the border between the SoÃÂa Valley and the Italian mountainous region known as Venetian Slovenia, with views over the Adriatic Sea. Its prominence is .
Matajur was attested as Mons Regis circa 680, and as in Monte Majori in 1275. The Slovene name Matajur is derived via vowel harmony or akanye from *Motajur (< Mëtmajur), which was borrowed from a Friulian name that developed from Romance Monte(m) maià Âre(m) 'higher mountain'. It is known as Mat'jur in the local dialect, and in Friulian as Mòntmaiôr or Mataiûr (a reborrowing from Slovene). Another old name for this peak is Velika Baba.
On 26 October 1917, Oberleutnant Erwin Rommel captured the mountain during the battle of Caporetto of World War I.
