Les Rincon Mountains sont un massif montagneux localisé à l'est de la ville de Tucson, dans le comté de Pima, au sud de l'Arizona, aux États-Unis. Il s'agit de l'un des cinq massifs qui dominent la vallée de Tucson. Les autres massifs se nomment Santa Catalina Mountains au nord, Santa Rita Mountains au sud, Tucson Mountains à l'ouest et Tortolita Mountains au nord-ouest. Le Redington Pass sépare le massif Rincon de celui de Santa Catalina.
Mica Mountain, avec ses 2 641 m, est le point culminant du massif[1]. L'autre sommet important est la Rincon Mountain.
En espagnol, le terme Rincón signifie « coin », ce qui dénote la forme du massif. Mica Mountain est au centre du coin, tandis que le Rincon Peak et le Tanque Verde Peak forment les deux extrémités. Une grande partie du massif est protégée au sein du parc national de Saguaro.
