Manfull Ridge is a wide, snow-covered mountain ridge in Marie-Byrd Land in West Antarctica . On the north side of the Kohler Range it rises about 8 km west of Morrison Bluff .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1971. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1976 after Byron Preston Manfull (1923-2007), Chairman of the Interagency Committee on Antarctica in United States Department of State from 1967 to 1969.
