The Hajhir massif is a mountain range situated on the island of Socotra, Yemen.

The granite spires of the Hajhir massif are located in the hinterland of Soqotra and are most easily accessed via the valley approaches north of the coastal town of Hadibo. The ultra-high point of the range is the high peak of Mashanig which lies at approximately 1500m above sea level. Other peaks of local prominence include Girhimitin, Hazrat Muqadriyoun and Herem Hajhir.

The name "Hajhir" (Soqotri: هجهر), sometimes transliterated as "Hagghier" or "Hagher" in English, likely derives from the Arabic "hijr" (Arabic: حجر) meaning "stone". Other possible origins of the range's name include the word "hajar" (Arabic: هجر) meaning "to flee".

The name "Mashanig" (Soqotri: مشنغ), meaning "the split one", likely derives from the Arabic verb "inshaq" (Arabic: انشق) meaning "to split", from which one gets the word "munshuq" (Arabic: منشق) meaning "splittist".
