The Weikman-Nunatakker are a two Nunatakker in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Ford Ranges they tower 3 km east of Mount Perkins on the watershed between the upper reaches of the Balchen Glacier and the Crevasse Valley Glacier .
Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) mapped them. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after Edward R. Weikman Jr. of the United States Navy , a construction mechanic at Byrd Station in 1967.
