Marikoppa is a mountain rising to 6,037 feet above sea level in the north of the Allardyce Range of South Georgia, between Larssen and Paulsen Peak.
The name 'Marikoppa' arises from local usage, and was used in 1950 by H.B. Paulsen. Koppa is a descriptive Finnish word meaning "basket with a lid on top." The mountain was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in 1951–52.
