The Paryadin Ridge is a high ridge of land on the Paryadin Peninsula, South Georgia's north-western spit, running between the peninsula's north-western and south-western headlands, Cape Alexandra and Cape Paryadin.

The ridge is named in association with Cape Paryadin, which itsloef is named after an officer of the ship Vostok in Bellingshausen's Russian Antarctic Expedition of 1819. The ridge was called Paryadin-Kamm or Paryadinkette by the German South Georgia Expedition, and named Paryadin Ridge following the the South Georgia Survey.
