Sierra del Tigre is a mountain range in northeastern Sonora, Mexico at the northern region of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The region contains sky island mountain ranges, called the Madrean Sky Islands, some separated from the Sierra Madre Occidental proper, and occurring in the northeastern Sonoran Desert, and extreme west-northwestern Chihuahuan Desert. Many of the ranges occur in southeast Arizona.
The Sierra del Tigre mountain range lies south of the San Bernardino Valley (Arizona) south of the Chiricahua Mountains; also the Swisshelm, Pedrogosa, and Perilla Mountains. The range is southeast of Douglas, Arizona-Agua Prieta, Sonora.
