The Brazitis Nunatak is a 1625 m high nunatak in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . In the southwestern Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains, it rises 8 km south of the DesRoches-Nunatakker on the edge of an ice step.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Peter F. Brazitis (* 1944), who in the Antarctic winter of 1967 on the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station carried out research on cosmic rays .
