The Udokan Range (Russian: хребет Удокан) is a mountain range in Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and Zabaykalsky Krai, Russian Federation.[1] The nearest town is Chara.[2]

There is copper mining in the range at the Udokan mine, part of the Udokan Ore Region that includes the Kalar and Kodar ranges.[3] A stretch of the Baikal–Amur Mainline passes through the range following the valley of the Khani river.[2]
