The Serlin Spur is a narrow and mostly snow-covered mountain ridge near the Hobbs coast of Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica . It rises 6 km south of Bowyer Butte and extends from the watershed between Johnson and Venzke glaciers eastward into the upper section of the latter glacier.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1974 after Ronald C. Serlin, ionospheric physicist on Siple Station from 1969 to 1970.
