No. McKinley (also called Denali) is the tallest mountain in North America at 6,194 meters. Mount Everest (on the Nepal-China border) is the tallest in the world, at 8,800 meters, when measured from sea level.
However, McKinley is both the most massive mountain whose base is exclusively on land, and the tallest when measured from the surrounding land. By this measure, McKinley has a rise of 5,500 meters, while Everest has a rise of 3,700 meters.
If you count mountains that are partially or fully in the sea, then Mauna Loa in Hawaii has a rise of 17,000 meters from the Pacific sea floor.
No, Mount McKinley (also known as Denali) is the tallest mountain in North America, but it is not the tallest mountain in the world. Mount Everest in Asia holds that title as the tallest mountain in the world.
