The '''Heimefront Range''' is a range of mountains in three groups trending northeast–southwest for {{convert|65|nmi|km}}, situated {{convert|50|nmi|km}} west-southwest of the [Kirwan Escarpment](/source/Kirwan_Escarpment) in [Queen Maud Land](/source/Queen_Maud_Land), Antarctica. The range was observed and photographed by the [Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition](/source/Norwegian%E2%80%93British%E2%80%93Swedish_Antarctic_Expedition) in the course of air reconnaissance from [Maudheim Station](/source/Maudheim_Station) in January 1952. The name "Heimefrontfjella" (homefront range) was applied by the placename authority in the Norwegian government. This range may include the crudely mapped mountains identified as "Kottas Berge" on the map of the [Third German Antarctic Expedition](/source/Third_German_Antarctic_Expedition) of 1938–39.<ref name=gnis/>

Wide glaciers divide the Heimefront Range in four ice free areas. These are, from north east to south west: [Milorgfjella](/source/Milorgfjella) (Kottas Berge, ''[Milorg](/source/Milorg) Mountains''), [XU-fjella](/source/XU-fjella) (''[XU](/source/XU) Mountains''), [Sivorgfjella](/source/Sivorgfjella) and [Tottan Hills](/source/Tottan_Hills).
