The Black Rock Range is a mountain range in northwestern Nevada [cite web | url=Gnis3|847155 | title=Black Rock Range | work=Geographic Names Information System | publisher=United States Geological Survey | accessdate=2008-01-11 ] . It is named for Black Rock Point, which is located at the southern end of the range. The Black Rock Range divides the Black Rock Desert into eastern and western arms. Pahute Peak, also known as Big Mountain [cite web | url=Gnis3|838751 | title=Big Mountain | work=Geographic Names Information System | publisher=United States Geological Survey | accessdate=2008-01-13 ] , is the highest point in the range at 8566 feet above sea level.

The majority of the range is part of the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. In addition two separate federally designated wilderness areas are part of the Black Rock Range. Those wilderness areas are Pahute Peak Wilderness and the North Black Rock Range Wilderness.
