The Sætherrindane are tall rocky outcrops in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Kurzegebirge they rise up immediately south of the Steinskaret .

Norwegian cartographers, who also named them, mapped them on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after Håkon Sæther (* 1906), who worked as a doctor on this research trip between 1956 and 1957.
