The Lewis Spur is a 1500 m high rock spur in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . On the north side of the Dufek massif in the Pensacola Mountains, it rises 2.5 km west of the Frost Spur .
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 Atles F. Lewis, aircraft body mechanic at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
