Buttress Nunatak (78°1′S 161°13′E / 78.017°S 161.217°E / -78.017; 161.217) is a nunatak in Antarctica, rising to 2,175 metres (7,140 ft) at the east side of the head of Creagh Glacier in the Wilkniss Mountains of Victoria Land. It was so named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (1994) because a buttress spur on the east side of the nunatak leads to the summit.
