The Pinckard Table is an icy table mountain up to 1640  m high in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It extends over a length of 13 km and a width of 5 km between the Styx Glacier and the Burns Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1955 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after William Pinckard, a biologist at McMurdo Station from 1965 to 1966.
