The Tilley Nunatak is a massive and rocky nunatak on the Mawson Coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It rises 8 km south of the Hobbs Islands from cliffs east of William Scoresby Bay .
Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations discovered it in February 1936 and named it. It is named after the British mineralogist and petrologist Cecil Edgar Tilley (1894–1974) from the University of Cambridge , who examined the rock samples collected after the research trip.
