Window Buttress (67°42′S 68°45′W) is a cliff rising to about 800 m near the southeast end of Fuchs Ice Piedmont, Adelaide Island, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west-northwest of the summit of Mount Ditte. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), 1982, from the window-like structure near the top of the cliff, which is visible only from the southwest.
