Dirtbag Nunatak (85°32′S 144°52′W / 85.533°S 144.867°W) is a ridge-like nunatak rising to 940 m, 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) south-southwest of Mount Manke, Harold Byrd Mountains. The feature was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960-63. It was visited in 1977-78 by a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP)-Arizona State University geological party, led by Edmund Stump, and named in the spirit of Coalsack Bluff; thin lenses of disintegrating mica and schist form a type of light soil on the slopes of the nunatak.
