The '''Styrian Prealps''' (in [German](/source/German_language) ''Steirisches Randgebirge'', in [Slovenian](/source/Slovenian_language) ''Štajersko Robno hribovje'', in [Hungarian](/source/Hungarian_language) ''Stájer Elő-Alpok'') is the proposed name for a subdivision of mountains in a new, and as yet unadopted, classification of the [Alps](/source/Alps), located in [Austria](/source/Austria) and, marginally, in [Slovenia](/source/Slovenia) and [Hungary](/source/Hungary).

== Geography ==
The whole range is drained by the [tributaries](/source/tributary) of the [Danube](/source/Danube) river.

=== SOIUSA classification ===
According to [SOIUSA](/source/SOIUSA) (''International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps'') the Styrian Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way:<ref name=soiu>{{cite book
