Peter I Range, Peter the First Range or Peter the Great Range (Russian: Хребет Петра I or Хребет Петра Первого) is a mountain range in Tajikistan, part of the Pamir Mountain System. The range takes its name from Peter the Great (1672 – 1725).

The range stretches in a roughly east–west direction for about 200 km, connecting with the Academy of Sciences Range at its eastern end.
