The Ball Range is a mountain range on the Continental Divide between Vermilion Pass and Red Earth Pass in Kootenay National Park, Canada.[5] The range is named after John Ball,[6] a politician who helped secure funding for the Palliser expedition.

It extends over 465 km2 (180 sq mi), and measures 35 km (22 mi) from North to South and 26 km (16 mi) from East to West.[3]
