Kenneth Ridge is a nunatak on the coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It is the northernmost three nunatakker in the northern part of the Manning Nunatakker . The other two include the Tester Nunatak in the far south, which is followed by the Mitchell Nunatak to the north .

Aerial photographs of this and the neighboring Nunatakker were taken during the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and in 1957 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). Participants of a Soviet Antarctic expedition visited them in 1965. The same applies to an ANARE team in 1969 whose actual target area was the Prince Charles Mountains . The Nunatak described here is named after Kenneth A. Smith, a member of this team and, in the same year, also a radio operator at Mawson station .
