The Lawrence Nunatak is a 1540 m high nunatak in Queen Elizabeth Land in West Antarctica . In the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains, it rises 5 km west of Snake Ridge from a step in the terrain that extends from this ridge in a south-westerly direction.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Lawrence E. Brown, geodesist at the Palmer station in the Antarctic winter of 1966.
