Findlay Ridge (78°8′S 164°0′E / 78.133°S 164.000°E / -78.133; 164.000) is a broad ridge which rises to 750 metres (2,460 ft) between Miers Valley and Hidden Valley in the Denton Hills of the Scott Coast, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (1994) after New Zealand geologist Robert H. Findlay, a member of the New Zealand Geological Survey field party to this area, 1977–78.[1]

A small elevated valley called The Altiplano sits roughly between Findlay Ridge and Miers Valley.
