The Ezop Range ({{langx|ru|Хребет Эзоп}}) is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia. Administratively it belongs partly to Amur Oblast and partly to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation.
The range is part of the Ezop / Yam-Alin volcanic zone.[https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Geological-scheme-of-the-Ezop-and-Yam-Alin-volcanic-zones-compiled-after-1-3-1-2_fig3_316797492 Geological scheme of the Ezop and Yam-Alin volcanic zones]

The Ezop is a range in northeastern Siberia, located in the eastern end of Amur Oblast and the southwestern side of Khabarovsk Krai. It is part of the Yankan - Tukuringra - Soktakhan - Dzhagdy group of mountain ranges.[http://bse.sci-lib.com/article125317.html Эзоп (горный хребет)] // Great Soviet Encyclopedia : (in 30 vols.) / Ch. ed. A.M. Prokhorov . - 3rd ed. - M .: Soviet Encyclopedia, 1969-1978.
The Ezop Range runs in a roughly east/west direction for about {{convert|150|km|}}. The Selemdzha River has its sources in the range.
To the north of the mountain chain rises the Selemdzha Range running roughly parallel to it. The northern end of the Turan Range meets the southern slopes of the range from the south. At the eastern end rise the Yam-Alin and Dusse-Alin ranges, which run in a north/south direction in Khabarovsk Krai. To the southwest lies the Zeya-Bureya Lowland.Google Earth The highest point of the Ezop is a {{convert|2241|m|ft}} high unnamed summit.[http://loadmap.net/ru?qq=52.7345%20133.2344&z=12&s=-1&c=45&g=1 Topographic Map N-53; М 1:1 000 000]
