Matsch Ridge (77°34′S 86°20′W / 77.567°S 86.333°W / -77.567; -86.333) is a prominent ridge at an elevation of about 1,830 metres (6,000 ft), extending for 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) in a west-northwest direction from Mount Ulmer in Gromshin Heights on the east side of northern Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is connected to Mount Wyatt Earp on the west-northwest by Skamni Saddle.

The ridge was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1982 after Charles Matsch, Professor of Geology, University of Minnesota, Duluth, who as a member of the United States Antarctic Research Program Ellsworth Mountains Expedition, 1979–80, worked at this ridge.[1]
