The Long Range Mountains are a series of mountains along the west coast of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. The Long Range Mountains are a subrange which forms the northernmost section of the Appalachian mountain chain on the eastern seaboard of North America.

In 2003 it was announced that the International Appalachian Trail would be extended through the Long Range Mountains. A portion of the trail opened in 2006.
