The MacDonald Hills (77°33′S 163°21′E / 77.550°S 163.350°E) are a compact group of exposed rock hills in the Asgard Range, east of Commonwealth Glacier on the north side of lower Taylor Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The hills were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1997) after William R.
