The '''Stanovik''' ({{langx|ru|Становик}}) is a mountain range in the Transbaikal Region (Zabaykalsky Krai) of Siberia, Russia.<ref name="ETB">{{cite web |title=Становик, хребет |publisher=Энциклопедия Забайкалья |language=Russian |trans-title=Stanovik Range |url=http://ez.chita.ru/encycl/concepts/?id=2614|accessdate=1 November 2021}}</ref> The southern end of the range is very close to the border with Mongolia.

The range is part of the Trans-Baikal conifer forests ecoregion.<ref name="SNR">{{cite web|title=Sokhondinskiy Biosphere Reserve|url=http://www.unesco.org/mabdb/br/brdir/directory/biores.asp?mode=gen&code=RUS+10|publisher=UNESCO|accessdate=4 February 2020}}</ref>
==Geography== The Stanovik Range is part of the Khentei-Daur Highlands, South Siberian System. It rises on the left bank of the upper course of the Onon River and stretches roughly northeastwards for over {{convert|110|km|sp=us}} between two of its left tributaries, the Kyra and the Aksha. It is bound by the Bylir River valley to the west and near its source it connects with the Khentei Range. The width of the Stanovik ranges between a maximum of {{convert|70|km|sp=us}} and a minimum of {{convert|40|km|sp=us}}.<ref name="GЕ">Google Earth</ref>
The average summits of the Stanovik reach between {{convert|1200|m|sp=us}} and {{convert|1600|m|sp=us}}. The highest point is a {{convert|1916|m|sp=us}} high unnamed peak. Much like in neighboring ranges, the relief is dominated by moderate height mountains with an abundance of steep-slopes and faults. The summits display fragments of the original alignment surface. The range rises in an area prone to earthquakes.<ref name="SNR"/>
==Flora== The slopes of the range are covered with mountain taiga and pre-Alpine forest. The higher elevations have dwarf cedar shrub and are often crowned by ''golets'' type bare summits.<ref name="ETB"/>
