James Nunatak is a nunatak at 1,570 feet between Shackleton Gap and Murray Snowfield on South Georgia.

This exposed rock outcrop is an important navigational feature on the Shackleton Commemorative Route. It is named in commemoration of the whaler the James Caird in which Shackleton sailed on his epic voyage from Elephant Island to South Georgia in 1916, and in conjunction with Caird Nunatak, which is at the end of the Shackleton Commemorative Route.
