The Kongō Range (金剛山地, Kongō Sanchi) is a mountain range on the borders of Nara and Osaka Prefectures on the island of Honshū in the southwest of central Japan. The range separates the Osaka Plain and the Nara Basin, and forms a natural place for the boundary between the prefectures. The primary mountain in the range is Mount Kongō, and is contained within the Kongō-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park.
The sutra mounds of the Katsuragi 28 Shuku are scattered throughout the Kongō Range.
