The Mirabito Range is a narrow, northwest-oriented mountain range about 65 km long and about 7 km wide in the north-west of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It looms between the upper section of Lillie Glacier and Greenwell Glacier in the Concord Mountains .
It was mapped by surveying work by the United States Geological Survey and using aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Lieutenant Commander John A. Mirabito of the US Navy, weather officer on four operations in the Operation Deep Freeze between 1955 and 1959.
