All-Blacks Nunataks () is a group of conspicuous nunataks lying midway between Wallabies Nunataks and Wilhoite Nunataks at the southeast margin of the Byrd Névé in Antarctica. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) after the well-known New Zealand national rugby union team.

Location

The All-Blacks Nunataks are to the southeast of the Byrd Névé and the Lonewolf Nunataks. The All-Blacks Nunataks and the Wallabies Nunataks bind the Chapman Snowfield, which lies further to the east. The Bledisloe Glacier flows to the Byrd Névé between All-Blacks Nunataks and Wallabies Nunataks, and the Skellerup Glacier flows to the Byrd Névé between All-Blacks Nunataks and Wilhoite Nunataks.
