Davis Ridge (71°24′S 63°0′W / 71.4°S 63°W) is a ridge of irregular shape, apparently an outlier of the Mount Jackson massif. It rises above the ice surface 6 nautical miles (11 km) east-southeast of the summit of Mount Jackson in the east part of Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Brent L. Davis, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) biologist at Palmer Station, 1971, and in the Antarctic Peninsula area, 1974-75 season.
