The Jordan nunatak is a nunatak on Thurston Island off the Eights coast of the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises between the head ends of the Rochray and Cox glaciers in the southwestern part of the island.
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 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Joe Jordan, a Specialist 6 of a United States Army flight association and helicopter mechanic with the Exploration of the Ellsworthland between 1968 and 1969.
