The Mirabito Range () is a narrow, northwest-trending mountain range, 64 km long and 6 km wide that lies between the upper part of Lillie Glacier and the Greenwell Glacier in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The range is part of the Concord Mountains.

Exploration and naming

The range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy aerial photography, 1960-63. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander John A. Mirabito, U.S. Navy, staff Meteorological Officer on four Deep Freeze Operations, 1955-59.
