The Malhamspitzen (originally called the Malchamspitze by Carl Sonklar) are the four peaks of a mighty massif on the Maurerkamm, an Alpine mountain chain in the Venediger Group in Austria's High Tauern National Park. They rise south of the Reggentörl () and are only separated from one another by small cols. The literature distinguishes them as follows: Nördliche Malhamspitze, north top (), Mittlere Malhamspitze, middle top (), Südliche Malhamspitze, south top (), Südlichste Malhamspitze, southernmost top (, ) The Malhamhorn () also belongs to the group.
== Location and area == The Malhamspitzen are surrounded by glaciers. To the west of the north-south crest of the Malhamspitzen lies the Gubachkees, which drains into the River Isel; to the east, feeding the Maurerbach, are the Südliche Malhamkees (also: Böses Wandkees) and the lower-lying Nördliche Malhamkees which has melted drastically in recent years.
