The Black Crag is a small, steep and rocky headland in the form of a cliff in the north of Thurston Island before Eights Coast of the West Antarctic Ellsworthlands . It juts out into the Bellingshausen Sea at the northeastern end of the Noville Peninsula .

The position of this formation was determined from aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy VX-6 squadron in January 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1960 after George Hamilton Black (1898-1965), supply officer on the first Antarctic expedition (1928-1930) of the US polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd .
