Alaska Range er en relativt smal, 650 km lang bjergkæde i den sydlige del af den amerikanske delstat Alaska, fra Lake Clark ved dens sydvestlige ende^[1] til White River i Canadas Yukon-territorium i sydøst. Det højeste bjerg i Nordamerika, Denali, ligger i Alaska Range. Bjergkæden er en del af den Nordamerikanske Cordillera.

Alaska-området er et af de højere områder i verden efter Himalaya og Andesbjergene.

1. ^ Sources differ as to the exact delineation of the Alaska Range. The Board on Geographic Names entry is inconsistent; part of it designates Iliamna Lake as the southwestern end, and part of the entry has the range ending at the Telaquana and Neacola Rivers. Other sources identify Lake Clark, in between those two, as the endpoint. This also means that the status of the Neacola Mountains is unclear: it is usually identified as the northernmost subrange of the Aleutian Range, but it could also be considered the southernmost part of the Alaska Range.
