The Cordón de las Vírgenes is a mountain range located in the Río Engaño Provincial Reserve, Languiñeo Department, Chubut Province, Argentina. Until 1966, it was claimed by Chile as part of the international boundary. The Picacho de la Virgen, Cerro Central, and Cóndor are part of the range. It lies southeast of Serrano Pass, south of Cerro Herrero, and east of the binational Cordón de los Morros.

The range was named by the Chilean Boundary Commission in 1955, along with Picacho de la Virgen; prior to this, no such names existed. The nearby homonymous hill was named by Lange during the preparation of his 1902 map. To the west of the range lie Norte Valley and Horquetas Valley.
