The O'Leary Ridges are three partially snow-covered mountain ridges in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . In the Prince Charles Mountains they extend 30 km southeast of Mount Bunt over a length of 8 km in a northwest-southeast orientation.
Aerial photographs of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from 1960 were used for their mapping. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named them after Raymond Arthur O'Leary (* 1926), head of the Wilkes station in 1964.
