The Sulphur Spring Range is a mountain range located in east-central Nevada in the United States.[1] The mountains are found mostly in Eureka County northeast of the Roberts Mountains and west of the Diamond Valley and Diamond Mountains. The range lies in a north–south direction, and reaches an elevation of Template:Convert at Bald Mountain. The range crosses into Elko County at the northeastern end.

Sulphur Spring Range was so named on account of sulphur-impregnated mineral springs in the area.[2]

The Bureau of Land Management manages 80.7% of the Sulphur Spring Range, and 19.3% is privately held. Mammals found in the range include: the long-tailed vole, Great Basin pocket mouse, and the deer mouse. The golden eagle and Mojave Desert sidewinder can also be found in the mountains.

Trees found in the range include: Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma), and single-leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla).
