The Oddesteinen is a nunatak in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It rises as the northernmost of a series of small Nunatakker on the east side of the Glopeflya immediately south of the eastern part of the Orvinfjella .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it using aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after Odd Gjeruldsen (* 1919), who worked as a research assistant on this research trip from 1956 to 1958.
