The '''Ulysses Fossae''' are a group of troughs in the [[Tharsis quadrangle]] of Mars at 10.06° north latitude and 123.07° west longitude. They were named after an albedo feature name.<ref name="gpn">{{gpn|6210}}</ref> The area contains pitted cones called [[Ulysses Colles]]<ref name="planetaryname"/> which were interpreted to be possible Martian equivalents to terrestrial [[cinder cones]].<ref name="Ulysses"/>

Tharsis contains many volcanoes, including [[Olympus Mons]], the tallest known volcano in the [[Solar System]].
