Boott Spur is a minor peak located in Coos County, New Hampshire. The mountain is named after Dr. Francis Boott (1792–1863), and is part of the Presidential Range of the White Mountains. Boott Spur stands on the shoulder of Mount Washington, above the south side of the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine.

Although well over 4,000 feet in height above sea level, the Appalachian Mountain Club doesn't consider Boott Spur a "four-thousand footer" because it stands less than 200 feet above the col on the ridge from Washington, making it a secondary summit of that peak.
