The Heuser Nunatak is a small nunatak in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . At the southern end of the Emlen Peaks in the Usarp Mountains, it rises 5 km south of Mount Phelan .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Charles M. Heuser, laboratory technician at McMurdo Station between 1966 and 1967.
