The Lasher Spur is a mountain ridge on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It extends 6 km east-northeast of the Triune Peaks from the Kelvin Crests in a north-westerly direction.
Aerial photographs of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) from 1947, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 1958 and the United States Navy from 1966 were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1977 after Lieutenant William J. Lasher, commander of an LC-130 Hercules in Operation Deep Freeze in 1969 and 1970.
