The Sulphur Spring Range is a mountain range located in east-central Nevada in the United States. The mountains are found mostly in Eureka County northeast of the Roberts Mountains and west of the Diamond Valley and Diamond Mountains. The range lies in a north-south direction, and reaches an elevation of convert|7686|ft|m|0 at Bald Mountain. The range crosses into Elko County at the northeastern end.

The Bureau of Land Management manages 80.7% of the Sulpher Spring Range, and 19.3% is privately held. Mammals found in the range include: the Long-tailed Vole, Great Basin pocket mouse, and the Deer mouse. The Golden Eagle and Mohave Desert sidewinder can also be found in the mountains.
