Whicher Range, also known as Whicher Scarp, is a range in the South West region of Western Australia.

The range has an average elevation of 170 metres (558 ft) above sea level.[1]

Bounded by the Swan Coastal Plain to the west and the south, the Darling Scarp to the north and the Blackwood Plateau to the east, the range is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Busselton. The range has the form of a crescent shaped scarp.

Composed of lateritic Mesozoic sediments, the range marks the southern and western edge of the Yilgarn Block.[2]
