Yagi Ridge is a mountain ridge extending northwest from the middle of the Spectrum Range at the southern end of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is bounded on the north by Nagha Glacier and Nagha Creek valley, on the south by Yeda Creek on the Arctic Lake Plateau and on the west by Mess Creek valley. Yagi Ridge reaches an elevation of 2,243 metres (7,359 feet) at the head of Nagha Glacier where its eastern end adjoins to the Spectrum Range just northwest of Yeda Peak.
The ridge is at the southern end of Mount Edziza Provincial Park and is named after Kenzō Yagi, a Japanese volcanologist who traversed it with Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther during a visit to Canada in 1966. Yagi also means mountain goat in the Japanese language which exist in abundance around the ridge.
