The Komatsu Nunatak is a 1840 m high and distinctive nunatak in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the western part of the Helliwell Hills in the Usarp Mountains, it rises 6 km west of Mount Van der Hoeven .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after the American biologist Stanley K. Komatsu (* 1941), who worked from 1966 to 1967 and from 1967 to 1968 as part of the United States Antarctic Research Program at McMurdo Station .
