Witches Cauldron (69°56′S 69°49′W / 69.933°S 69.817°W) is an ice-filled basin on the west side of the Douglas Range, immediately west of Mount Egbert in the north part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The basin was first sighted from the air and roughly mapped by the British Graham Land expedition in 1937. More accurately mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. Named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the feature's kettle-like shape.

| - Das Witches Cauldron (englisch für Hexenkessel) ist ein vereister Bergkessel im Norden der Alexander-I.-Insel vor der Westküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er liegt unmittelbar westlich des Mount Egbert auf der Westseite der Douglas Range. Teilnehmer der British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) unter der Leitung des australischen Polarforschers John Rymill sichteten ihn 1937 aus der Luft und kartierten ihn grob. Eine genauere Kartierung erfolgte 1960 durch den britischen Geographen Derek Searle vom Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee verlieh ihm 1961 seinen deskriptiven Namen. (de)
