The Ouled Naïl Range (Arabic: سلسلة جبال أولاد نايل, French: Monts des Ouled Naïl) is a mountain range in Algeria, part of the Saharan Atlas of the greater Atlas Mountain System. The range is named after a confederation of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, all of which claim to hail from Arab ancestors of Banu Hilal origin.
