The May Valley is a shallow, snow-capped valley in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . It extends on the western flank of the Forrestal Range , where the two table mountains Lexington Table and Saratoga Table meet.
The area was mapped using United States Navy aerial photographs between 1956 and 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the valley in 1968 after Walter H. May, an aerographic scientist at Ellsworth Station in the winter of 1957.
