The Bastien Range (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is an Antarctic mountain range of moderate height which extends in a NW-SE direction for about 64 kilometres (40 mi), flanking the SW side of Nimitz Glacier and the Sentinel Range, in the Ellsworth Mountains.

Named by US-ACAN for Thomas W. Bastien, geologist, leader of the helicopter supported University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains, 1963-64. Bastien was also a member of a party to the Ellsworth Mountains in 1961-62.
