Orava Magura (Oravská Magura) – a mountain range in the Outer Western Carpathians. It is located in the northern part of Slovakia, in the historical region of Orava. The range is part of the Central Beskids (Slovak: Stredné Beskydy). The highest peak of the range is Minčol, 1394 m a.s.l.
The range is located between the rivers Orava and its tributary Zázrivka, and the Biela Orava River in the north. It stretches from the south-west to the north-east with a strip 5-10 km wide and 36 km long. Biela Orava River separates them from the Żywiec-Orava Beskid Mountains, and Orava from the Choč Mountains and the Skorusina Mountains. In the south-west, Magura Oravska borders Mala Fatra Mountains and is separated by the valley of the Zázrivka stream.
Orava Magura is divided into three smaller units:
– the central part with Minčol Mountain (1394 m a.s.l.) and Kubínska Hoľa Mountain (1346 m a.s.l.), known as the Kubínska Hoľa range;
– the northern part with Paráč Mountain (1325 m a.s.l.) and Príslopec (1258 m a.s.l.), known as the Paráč range;
– the eastern part with Budín (1222 m a.s.l.) and Magurka (1107 m a.s.l.), known as the Budín range (Budínska Magura).
