The Monti Trebulani or Colli Caprensi is a mountain range in the province of Caserta, Campania, southern Italy.
They take their name from the ancient city of Trebula Balliensis, a Roman colony founded in the 3rd-2nd century BC, whose remains are in the frazione Treglia of the comune of Pontelatone.
The range has a length of some 20 km, from north to south, starting from the territory of Pietravairano to Bellona.
Sights include the grotto of San Michele, in the comune of Liberi.
