There are several, but they are all extinct.
Mars has apparently cooled down to the point where the volcanoes stopped erupting billions of years ago.
However, with the thin air, there is nothing to wear the volcanoes down. Olympus Mons is the largest volcano (or mountain) by far in the Solar system, owing to Mars' lower gravity.
Some entire mountain ranges on Earth wouldn't even completely circle Olympus Mons, and the peaks would be 1/4 of the height.

∙ 10y agoWhen you're looking at the entire surface of Mars, captured from space, there are 4 huge volcanoes visible in the Tharsis region of Mars. Olympus Mons is the largest, and the other 3 are Ascraeus Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Arsia Mons. While Olympus Mons towers 24 km above the surrounding plains, and spans 500 km across, these smaller volcanoes are merely 350-450 km across and stand 15 km tall.
These are just the largest, but there are a total of 20 named volcanoes across the surface of Mars.
