The Fender Buttress (English for Fenderpfeiler ) is a more than 1600 m high rocky spur in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It protrudes into the head end of the Drygalski Glacier on the south side of the Herbert Plateau .

Measurements carried out by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1960 and 1961 were used to map it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it on July 1, 1964 after the Argentinian inventor Guillaume Fender from Buenos Aires , who had developed one of the first models of a tracked vehicle at the end of the 19th century (British patent from 1882).
