The Cady Nunatak is a nunatak in Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . In the Allegheny Mountains of the Ford Ranges, it rises 5 km east of Mount Zeigler .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the Nunatak in 1970 after Frederick Marvin Cady (1936-2015), ionospheric physicist of the United States Antarctic Research Program on Byrd Station in 1968.
