The Graah Mountains (Danish: Graah Fjelde or Graah Bjerge)[1] are a mountain range in southeastern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Kujalleq municipality.

This mountain group was named after Wilhelm August Graah, who described them for the first time during his 1829 expedition to the little known eastern coast of Greenland in search of the lost Eastern Norse Settlement.[2] The area of the range is currently uninhabited.
