The Everett Range ({{coord|71|20|S|165|40|E|name=Everett Range}}) is a rugged, mainly ice-covered range nearly {{convert|60|nmi}} long between Greenwell Glacier and Ebbe Glacier in northwest Victoria Land, Antarctica.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=229}}

Discovery and naming
The Everett Range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy in the period 1960–63.
It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander William H. Everett, U.S. Navy, Commander of Antarctic Squadron Six (VX-6), 1962–63.

Location
The Everett Range is in the Concord Mountains.
Everett Spur is the northwest point, where the Ebbe Glacier meets the Lillie Glacier, which flows north along the west of the range.
Mount Dockery, Mount Matthias, Pilon Peak and Mount Works are in the northwest section, west of the Horne Glacier, which flows south into the Greenwell Glacier where it joins the Lillie Glacier. The Greenwell Glacier separates the Everett Range from the Mirabito Range to the southwest.{{sfn|Mount Soza USGS}}
The southeastern part of the range extends southeast between the Ebbe Glacier to the northeast and the Greenwell Glacier to the southwest. Robinson Heights and the Homerun Range of the Admiralty Mountains are to its east and southeast.
Features of the southeastern part include Mount Craven, Cantrell Peak, Mount Calvin and Mount Regina.{{sfn|Ebbe Glacier USGS}}
