The Station Nunatak (also in Swedish Stellen Nunataks [sic]) is a 165 m high, isolated and ice-free nunatak on Snow Hill Island south of the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 7 km southwest of the eastern end of the island.

Participants of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) sighted it in 1902. The expedition leader Otto Nordenskjöld named the rock in German after its proximity to the expedition's winter camp.
