The Sandwich Range is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the United States, north of the Lakes Region and south of the Kancamagus Highway.

The Kancamagus Highway runs along the north side of the mountains, from Conway to . The highest peak in the range is Mount Tripyramid, with an elevation of 4,170 feet (1,270 m).
