The Kraut Rocks are a group of ledges in Marie-Byrd Land in West Antarctica . In the Flood Range they project of the snowy lower western slopes massif of Mount Berlin on.

The United States Geological Survey mapped them based on their own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1974 after William F. Kraut, radio operator of a joint team of the United States Army and United States Navy, which had carried out preparatory work for the construction of the Byrd station from Little America V station in 1956 as a pioneer group .
