Keyser Ridge is an icy mountain ridge 17.5 km long in East Antarctica, Mac Robertson Land . In the Prince Charles Mountains, it rises in a northeast-southwest orientation 42 km southeast of Mount Bayliss .
Aerial photographs of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) from 1957 to 1960 were used for mapping. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after David O. Keyser, radio operator at Mawson station and member of an ANARE campaign, in which it had failed to reach this mountain ridge in 1961 because of insurmountable crevasses .
