The Pomerantz Tableland () is a 2,290 m high ice-covered tableland in the Usarp Mountains, Antarctica. It is about 10 nmi long, standing 15 nmi northwest of Daniels Range.

Early exploration and naming

The Pomerantz Tableland was mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos in 1960–62. Named by US-ACAN for Martin A. Pomerantz, Director of the Barthol Research Foundation and Chairman of the U.S. Committee for the International Year of the Quiet Sun, who carried on cosmic ray studies in the McMurdo Sound area, 1959–60 and 1960-61.
