Saratoga Table is an ice-covered plateau rising to 6,640 feet in the south of the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains in Queen Elizabeth Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The plateau was photographed from the air by the United States Navy on 13 January 1956, on a nonstop, transcontinental flight from McMurdo Sound (in New Zealand's Ross Dependency) to the Weddell Sea and return during Operation Deep Freeze, 1955-56; in association with the Lexington Table, named after the USS Saratoga which was commissioned in 1926 as one of the first the United States Navy fleet carriers and served in the Pacific in the Second World War. The feature was further photographed from the air by the United States Navy in 1964 and surveyed from the ground by the United States Geological Survey, 1965-66.
