The Yingling nunatak is a rocky nunatak on the Budd coast of the East Antarctic Wilkesland . It rises 1.3 km southeast of Goldenberg Ridge in the eastern part of the Browning Peninsula .

Aerial photographs of the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1963 after the meteorologist David Lee Yingling (* 1937), who worked at Wilkes Station in 1960 .
