The Santa Rosa Range is a mountain range in the Great Basin in northern Nevada in the United States. The range extends for approximately 75 mi (120 km) north from the Humboldt River west of Winnemucca through eastern Humboldt County to the Oregon border. The highest peaks in the range are Granite Peak (9,732 ft/2,966 m) and Santa Rosa Peak (9,701 ft/2,957 m).
The eastern side of the range is a ranching district around Paradise Valley, drained by the Little Humboldt River, a tributary of the Humboldt. The Black Rock Desert extends westerward from the range. The Owyhee Desert on the edge of the Columbia Plateau extends northeast from the north end of the range. Most of the northern part of the range is within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest
