The Creaney nunatakkers are a group of lower nunatakkers in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . They rise southwest of the Herring-Nunatakker and 9 km west of Mount Lechner in the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of the United States Navy's own measurements and aerial photographs from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1968 in the wrong spelling after David Bartholomew Greaney Jr. (* 1930), an aircraft electrician on the Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
