'''Lewisohn Nunatak''' (77°38′S 142°50′W) is an isolated [[nunatak]] located 10 nautical miles (19 km) southeast of the [[Mackay Mountains]], in the [[Ford Ranges]] of [[Westarctica]].

==Discovery and name==
The nunatak was discovered and mapped by the United States [[Antarctic]] Service. Lewisohn Nunatak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in honor of Walter P. Lewisohn, who served as a radio operator with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition from 1933–35.

==Geologic composition==
Although the nunatak has not been visited by a geologic expedition, two samples taken from the nearby Mackay Mountains indicate that the nunatak is most likely a Swanson Formation unconformity comprised of quartzite, biotite schist, phyllite, and slate dating to the upper Precambrian-lower Paleozoic age.

==Peerage title==
On 11 December 2020, Steven John Shi was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baron of Lewisohn. His title is named for this feature.
