The Skeena Mountains, also known as the Skeenas, are a subrange of the Interior Mountains of northern British Columbia, Canada, essentially flanking the upper basin of the Skeena River. They lie just inland from the southern end of the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, and from the northern end of the Kitimat Ranges, another subrange of the Coast Mountains. Their southern limit is described by the Bulkley River and the upper northwestern reaches of Babine Lake and Takla Lake Lakes. To the northeast, their boundary is marked by the upper reaches of the Omineca River.
To the north, the Skeenas abut the southern Tahltan Highland and Klastline Plateau, part of the southern reaches of the Stikine Plateau, and the Spatsizi Plateau, another subplateau of the Stikine. To the northwest, across the narrow confines of the Spatsizi Plateau, are the Stikine Ranges of the Cassiar Mountains, while to the east of the Skeenas are the Omineca Mountains. To the south lie the Hazelton Mountains.
