Guyatt Ridge is a 1070 m high mountain ridge in the East Antarctic Coatsland . In the Shackleton Range, it rises southwest of Wedge Ridge in the southern part of the Haskard Highlands .
It was mapped in 1957 by participants in the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955–1958) under the direction of British polar explorer Vivian Fuchs (1908–1999). The British Antarctic Survey carried out further measurements between 1968 and 1971. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1972 after the British geodesist Malcolm John Guyatt (* 1944), who worked for the survey between 1969 and 1971 at Halley Station and from 1969 to 1971 in the Shackleton Range.
