King Pin (77°27′S 163°9′E) is a nunatak, 820 metres (2,700 ft) high, rising above the Wilson Piedmont Glacier, Antarctica, about midway between Mount Doorly and Hogback Hill. It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59, after the American helicopter King Pin which flew the party into this area, and which rendered a similar service in two other years to New Zealand parties.
