The McCue Bluff is a rock cliff in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It looms between England Glacier and Tingey Glacier at the southern end of the Mawson Escarpment .
Aerial photographs taken in 1956, 1960 and 1973 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) were used to map the cliff. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the Australian meteorologist Clarence Gordon McCue (1927-1992) from the Australian Ministry of Science and Technology, who later headed the Australian Antarctic Division .
