'''Leda Ridge''' ({{coord|70|52|S|68|32|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a ridge running in a northeast–southwest direction lying on the west side of the [Ganymede Heights](/source/Ganymede_Heights), east of [Jupiter Glacier](/source/Jupiter_Glacier), on the east side of [Alexander Island](/source/Alexander_Island), [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica). The ridge was photographed from the air by the [Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition](/source/Ronne_Antarctic_Research_Expedition) in 1947 and was mapped from the photographs by the [Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey](/source/Falkland_Islands_Dependencies_Survey) in 1960. It was named by the [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) after [Leda](/source/Leda_(moon)), a [satellite](/source/Natural_satellite) of the planet [Jupiter](/source/Jupiter), in association with nearby Jupiter Glacier.<ref name=gnis/>
