Arnoldy Nunatak is one of the Sky-Hi Nunataks of Palmer Land, part of the British Antarctic Territory. Anoldy Nanatak is to be found one nautical mile south of Mount Cahill.

This nunatak (a rock formation emerging from an icefield) was named by the Americans, the name chosen by the 'Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names' in 1987 after Roger L. Arnoldy, a physicist at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire. He was a United States Antarctic Research Program Principal Investigator in upper atmospheric physics at Siple Station and South Pole Station for many years from 1973.
