The Mathis Spur is an approximately 1800 m high rock spur in Queen Elizabeth Land in West Antarctica . In the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains, it rises 5 km north of Mount Stephens on the western flank of the Saratoga Table .
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 Melvin Mathis, Hospital Corpsman at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
