The United States Range is one of the northernmost mountain ranges[1] of the Arctic Cordillera and in the world, surpassed only by the Challenger Mountains to the northwest.[2] The range is located in the northeastern region of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada, and is part of the Innuitian Mountains. The highest mountain in the range is Mount Eugene with an elevation of 1,860 metres (6,100 ft). The British Empire Range is immediately to the west of the United States Range.

The range was named in 1861 by American explorer Isaac Israel Hayes after his ship.
