Feeney Ridge is a 10 km long mountain ridge with a mainly non-iced summit ridge on the Oates coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Wilson Hills it rises parallel to the southeast flank of the Fergusson Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Lieutenant Commander Edward J. Feeney, commander of an LC-130 Hercules for the Aerial photograph taken during Operation Deep Freeze in 1968.
