Las Derrumbadas (from Spanish, meaning 'the collapsed ones') is a rhyolitic twin dome volcano in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Often overlooked for its proximity to some of Mexico's most famous mountains —including Cofre de Perote, Sierra Negra and colossal Pico de Orizaba— its two summits are nevertheless within the top 30 of the country's highest mountain peaks.

Due to the volcano's fumarolic activity, it has been studied and proposed as a source of geothermal energy.
