The Dirtbag-Nunatak ( English dirtbag = scumbag ) is a 940 m high on a ridge reminiscent Nunatak in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It rises 5.5 km south-southwest of Mount Manke in the Harold Byrd Mountains .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. Between 1977 and 1978 a team of geologists from Arizona State University under the direction of Edmund Stump (* 1946) visited the Nunatak as part of the United States Antarctic Research Program and made the designation. This was done equivalent to that of the Coalsack Bluff . It is named after thin and unsightly lenses made of weathered mica and slate on the slopes of the Nunatak.
