Lawson Nunatak (67°56′S, 62°51′E) is a small tooth-like nunatak lying 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of Branson Nunatak in the Masson Range of the Framnes Mountains. The feature was fixed by intersection from trigonometrical stations by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1968. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for E. J. Lawson, diesel mechanic at Mawson Station, who assisted with the survey work in 1967.
