Depot Nunatak (77°45′S 160°4′E / 77.75°S 160.067°E) is a nunatak, 1,980 m, standing at the west side of Cassidy Glacier and Quartermain Mountains in Victoria Land. Nearly vertical cliffs of columnar dolerite rise 150 m above glacier level at the east end. So named by the Discovery expedition (1901–04), on their western journey in 1903, because they made a food depot there, for use on their return.
