Cryptogam Ridge (60°43′S 45°40′W / 60.717°S 45.667°W / -60.717; -45.667) is an east–west ridge lying south of Cummings Cove in Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. The north-facing slope of the ridge supports a diversity of lichens and mosses, collectively referred to as cryptogams (spore-producing plants). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991.
