The Norücken is a mountain ridge on the Borchgrevink coast of East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Mountaineer Range, it rises north of Caliper Cove on Lady Newnes Bay and extends from Wylde Glacier in the southwest to the Suter Glacier in the northeast.

Scientists of the German expedition GANOVEX III (1982–1983) gave it its name, which is supposed to be a short form of "north ridge".
