The Howard Nunatakker are a group of around 15 Nunatakkern on the northwestern edge of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland .
The American polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth discovered them during his transantarctic flight on November 23, 1936. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1961 after Patrick Matthew Howard (1910–1972), Ellworth's aircraft mechanic.
