The D'Aguilar Range is a mountain range near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The town of Dayboro is situated on the lower foothills midway along the range and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland town of Mooloolah lies at the northernmost point of the range. Many residential areas line its eastern slopes including the town of Samford and the Brisbane suburb of Ferny Hills. In the west, numerous ridges and gullies are heavily forested and designated as state forest or national park.
The D'Aguilar Range stretches from Caboolture 45 kilometres north of Brisbane, Queensland, through to Brisbane, where part of the D'Aguilar Range is covered by a protected parkland called the Brisbane Forest Park.
Mountains in the range include Camp Mountain, Mount Nebo, Mount Pleasant, Mount Glorious, Mount Samson and Mount Mee. Directly to the south in the west of Brisbane is the Taylor Range, sometimes considered an eastern spur of the D'Aguilar Range. Further north, highly visible from the D'Aguilar Ranges, are the Glass House Mountains.
Mount D'Aguilar at 750 m above sea level is the second highest peak in the range. The highest point is Tenison Woods Mountain at 770 m. This peak is not distinct and is not marked on old maps. The Congregation of the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration created a plaque on the summit to commemorate the naming of the mountain in 1974. The year also marked the centenary of their order which was founded by J.E. Tenison Woods. Mermaid Mountain is the highest point in the southern sections at 396 m in elevation. Well known lookouts on the range include McAfee's Lookout and Jolly's Lookout, both of which have views east across to Moreton Bay.
