Madey Ridge is a mountain ridge in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . In the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains , it runs from Mount Moffat along the north side of the Berquist Ridge in a north-westerly direction.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1956 and 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Jules Madey (* 1940), who together with his brother John (1943-2016) as Radio amateur between 1957 and 1967 numerous radio links between the United States and research teams in Antarctica were successful.
