The Conondale Range is a mountain range in Queensland, located between Maleny and Jimna. The range is the most westerly part of the Sunshine Coast hinterland and part of the Great Dividing Range.

Lower foothills of the range around Kilcoy are used for grazing. Most of the steep forested slopes of the range are state forests and Conondale National Park.

The mountains are the source of the Brisbane River. Creeks on the south of the range drain into the Stanley River and directly into Lake Somerset. To the north creeks flow into the Mary River.

The extinct Gastric-brooding frog and endangered Fleay's Barred Frog are two frog species, endemic to the Conondale Range and parts of nearby regions.
