The Russian Mountains (Russian Mission Mountains) are a mountain range in Bethel Census Area, Alaska, USA.[1]

The mountains were named during the "Yellow River Stampede" of the winter of 1900-01 because a Russian Orthodox Mission was located on the south edge of the range.[1]

The range extends north from the Kuskokwim River and east of the Owhat River. It is 9 miles northeast of Aniak, Kilbuck-Kuskokwim Mountains. The highest peak has an elevation of 3,077 feet (938 m).[1]
