A Spitz nevus is a benign skin lesion. A type of melanocytic nevus, it affects the epidermis and dermis.

It is also known as an epithelioid and spindle-cell nevus, and misleadingly as a benign juvenile melanoma, and Spitz's juvenile melanoma]. The name juvenile melanoma is generally no longer used as it is neither a melanoma, nor does it occur only in children.
