Hagey Ridge is a towering, snow-capped mountain range on the coast of Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . It runs as the eastern end of McDonald Heights between the Björnert Cliffs and the Johnson Glacier .
Aerial photographs were taken during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) in December 1940. The United States Geological Survey mapped the mountain range based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1959 and 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain range in 1974 after Lieutenant Donald Warren Hagey (* 1932), officer on duty at Byrd Station in 1969.
