Carraleva (Albanian: Carralevë or Mali i Carralevës; Serbian: Црнољева, romanized: Crnoljeva) is a mountain in central Kosovo, dividing its two main geographical regions, the Kosovo Plain and Metohija. Carraleva is also a point where all three drainage basins of Kosovo (and three out of four in the Balkans) meet, making the mountain a major hydrographic knot. It is named after the village of Carraleva.
Carraleva is located in the south-central part of Kosovo, between the valleys of the rivers Drenica (to the east) and Mirusha and Toplluha (to the west). The mountain is elongated in the north–south direction and divides the Prizren depression of Metohija from the Drenica region of the Kosovo Plain. The highest peak is Topila (1,177 m), while the Drmanska glava peak (926 m) is point of the hydrographic knot. Another prominent peak is the Korenik (1,142 m).
Carraleva is rich in ores, most notably the chromium, magnesite and coal. Right through the middle of the mountain goes the regional Ferizaj-Prizren road, using the natural route of the Carralevë river valley.
