The '''Jarbidge Mountains''' are a range of high peaks in northern [[Elko County, Nevada|Elko County]], in northeastern [[Nevada]] in the western [[Western United States|United States]]. The range extends southward approximately 25&nbsp;miles (40&nbsp;km) from a point near the small community of [[Jarbidge, Nevada|Jarbidge]].

To the west is Jarbidge itself, the [[Jarbidge River]], and the [[Copper Mountains (Nevada)|Copper Mountains]]. The southern slopes of the Jarbidge Mountains, however, eventually drain into the main branch of the [[Humboldt River]], and are therefore part of the [[Great Basin]].
