The You Yangs are a series of granite ridges rising as high as 343 meters above the flat, low-lying Werribee Plain in southern Victoria, Australia, about 5 kilometers west of the town of Little River, 55 kilometers southwest of central Melbourne and 22 kilometers north of Geelong. The main ridge runs roughly north to south for about 9 kilometers, with a lower ridge extending west for a further 15 kilometers, and much of the range's southern section is protected within the You Yangs Regional Park.
