The Watagan Mountains, Watagans, or Wattagan Mountains is a mountain range that is part of the Great Dividing Range in the hinterlands of the Hunter and Central Coast regions of New South Wales, Australia. The range is situated between the Upper Hunter River catchment and the Tuggerah Lakes with close proximity to Lake Macquarie. The Watagans are a popular tourist location and are close to regional centres like Newcastle and Gosford.
The highest point is Mount Warrawolong which rises to 641 metres (2,103 ft) above sea level.
The Watagans are covered with tall eucalyptus forest and rainforest. There are several camping areas and four wheel drive roads. Some areas can be quite steep and remote, with risky areas of near wilderness.
