Midnight Plateau () is a prominent ice-covered plateau, over high, forming the central feature of the
Darwin Mountains in
Antarctica. It is the only area of snow accumulation in the Darwin Mountains. The plateau was discovered by the
Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition of 1962–63 and so named because the feature was visited by expedition members at midnight on December 27, 1962.
