Javakheti Range or Javakhk Range (also Kechut Range or Wet Mountains; Georgian: ჯავახეთის ქედი; Armenian: Ջավախքի լեռնաշղթա) – is a volcanic range, in southern Georgia and northern Armenia, part of the Caucasus Mountains. The range is about 50 km (31 mi) long and runs north to south from Trialeti to Bazum Range. It parallels the Samsari Range.

The Chochiani, Shavtskala and Mashavera rivers originate in the range. It contains shield-shaped craterless volcanoes, with a wide base and a small relative height.

The highest peak is Achkasar, at an elevation of 3196 m (10485 ft) above sea level. Other notable peaks include Leyli (3156), Yemlikli (3054), Garanlig (3039), Aghrigar (2973) and Shambiani (2923).

The range is mainly covered with alpine meadows and grasslands. There are a number of small-sized lakes in and around the Javakheti Range.
