The Strachey Stump is a 1630 m high mountain with a flattened peak in the East Antarctic Coatsland . In the Read Mountains of the Shackleton Range, it rises 8 km northeast of Mount Wegener .

The United States Navy first took aerial photographs of this mountain in 1967. The British Antarctic Survey carried out surveys between 1967 and 1971. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1972 after the British geologist John Strachey (1671–1743), on whom one of the first approaches to creating geological profiles goes back.
