Sutton Crag is a crag on South Georgia, rising to 4,885 feet above sea level between Moraine Fjord and Paget Glacier. It stands to the north of and is connected by a long ridge to the western peak of Mount Paget in the Allardyce Range.
The mountain was called 'Sentinel' or 'Sentinel Peak' by the British South Georgia Expedition on the first ascent in October 1954. In order to avoid duplication with other "sentinel" names, the crag was later named 'Sutton Crag' after George A. Sutton, leader of the British South Georgia Expedition, who reached the summit in 1954.
