Walker Mountains (72°13′S 99°2′W﻿ / ﻿72.217°S 99.033°W﻿ / -72.217; -99.033) is a range of peaks and nunataks which are fairly well separated but trend east–west to form the axis, or spine, of Thurston Island in Antarctica. They were discovered by Rear Admiral Byrd and members of the US Antarctic Service in a flight from the ship Bear on February 27, 1940. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lt. William M. Walker, captain of the United States Exploring Expedition ship Island on March 23, 1839.
