Hannah Ridge is a 8 km long, narrow and arched mountain ridge in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . In the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains , it extends from the Washington Escarpment immediately north of Brown Ridge in a westerly direction.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Edward L. Hannah, an aircraft body mechanic at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1958.
