The LeMay Range is a mountain range 40 nautical miles (70 km) long with peaks rising to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), extending in a northwest–southeast direction from Snick Pass to the north side of Uranus Glacier in the central portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica.

The range was remapped in detail from RARE photos by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960.
