The Pskem Mountain Range ({{langx|ru|Пскемский хребет}}, Pskemskiy Khrebet) or Piskom Mountains, is a mountain range located within the west Tien Shan range of Central Asia, and is a natural border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. It extends over {{convert|160|km|abbr=on}} from north-east to south-west in the extreme north-eastern finger of Uzbekistan's Tashkent Region. The range is a water divide between the Pskem river to the north and the Chandalash, Chatkal, and Koʻksu rivers to the south.[http://poxod.ru/guidebook/westerntianshan/p_westerntianshan_pskemskijhreqbs_a.html Pskem Range in West Tien Shan mountaineering guide], in Russian. The highest elevations are attained in the north-east of the range: Mount Adelung ({{convert|4301|m|abbr=on}}) and Mount Beshtor ({{convert|4299|m|abbr=on}}).[http://www.bse.freecopy.ru/print.php?id=69590 Big Soviet Encyclopedia, on-line edition], in Russian, accessed June 6, 2011.

The river Pskem flows through the mountains on its way to Lake Charvak.
