The Low Nunatak (English for Low Nunatak ) is a 450  m high and 1.5 km long Nunatak in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises 3 km north of the western end of the Killer Ridge of the Gonville and Caius Range in the middle of the Cotton Glacier . Only 50 m of its total height of 450  m are visible.

The western group led by the British geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880-1963) on the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) led by the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott gave it its descriptive name.
