The Jordan Ridge is a mountain ridge in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Bowers Mountains it rises on the eastern flank of the Rennick Glacier .

Scientists of the German expedition GANOVEX I (1979–1980) named it after the German geologist Heinz Jordan, who later took part in GANOVEX III (1982–1983). Due to the almost identical geographic coordinates, there is a strong suspicion that this object is identical to the Adams Ridge .
