Rugate Ridge (65°1′S 61°56′W) is a high, east-trending ridge between Green and Evans Glaciers on the east side of Graham Land. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because many small ridges and spurs make up the feature ("rugate" means "ridgy").
