Fisher Massif (72°19′S 67°40′E / 72.317°S 67.667°E / -72.317; 67.667) is a rock massif about 16 nautical miles (30 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, standing at the west side of Lambert Glacier about 42 nautical miles (78 km) south of the Aramis Range, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party led by B.H. Stinear in October 1957, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Morris M. Fisher, a surveyor at Mawson Station in 1957.[1]

The Blustery Cliffs are on the northern part of Fisher Massif, while Mount Johnston is the southernmost and highest of its peaks.
