The Frankland Range is a group of mountains found in the south-western part of Tasmania, Australia. These mountains form a natural border on the south-western side of Lake Pedder. This lake was created when the Serpentine and Huon rivers were dammed.

The Frankland Range is part of the South West Wilderness area. It's not as popular for bushwalking as some other famous mountain ranges in Tasmania. This is because it's a very long and isolated area. The land is also quite rough and challenging. Because of this, it's mostly for experienced hikers. You can get to the range by boat from Lake Pedder. You can also use roads from Strathgordon or Scotts Peak Dam.

Other mountain ranges nearby include the Arthur, Companion, Folded, Tribulation, and the Wilmot ranges.
