The Barunga Range is a range of hills starting near Clements Gap and Merriton in South Australia's Mid North.[1] At the range's southern end it merges with Hummock Range at Barunga Gap, approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south west of Snowtown.[2] The name 'Barunga', which was also used to name the cadastral Hundred of Barunga which approximates the area of the Barunga Range, derives from an indigenous term meaning gap in the range.[3]

The Barunga and Hummock ranges are host to the Clements Gap and Snowtown wind farms.
