The Fitzsimmons nunatakkers are a group of small nunatakkers in East Antarctica, Victoria Land . They are located 43 km east-northeast of the Welcome Mountain, which belongs to the Outback Nunatakkern, and 13 km southeast of the Helliwell Hills .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using their own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after John M. Fitzsimmons, a biologist at McMurdo Station between 1965 and 1966.
