Sierra del Mugrón is a 16.6 km (10 mi) long mountain range located between the shire of Valle de Cofrentes (Valencian: Vall de Cofrents), Valencian Community, and Almansa, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. It is an isolated range between the Iberian System and the Cordillera Prebética. Its highest point is 1,209 m.
