The Tweed Range forms the western extension of the crater rim of the Tweed Volcano in northern New South Wales in Australia. The mountain range marks the southern end of the Scenic Rim.

The Bar Mountain is the highest point of the mountain, which rises 1130 m above sea level. To the west lie the McPherson Range and Levers Plateau, in the north there is the Lamington Plateau with the Nightcap Range, which extends around the southern areas of the crater rim, and southeast of Tweed Range is located.

Most of mountain regions are covered by rain forests and protected in the Border Ranges National Park, which are among the Gondwana Rainforests and Mebbin National Park. The 64-kilometer long Tweed Range Scenic Drive is a road that runs through the park along the mountain range and views over the Tweed Valley permits, including the Pinnacle Lookout and Black Butts Lookout.

To the east is the catchment area of ​​Byril Creek, Oxley River and Rous River, tributaries of the Tweed River, which drain the steep valley slopes. In the West there are numerous creeks, among them the Brindle Creek, which flows into the Richmond River.
