In the spirocyclic title complex, [PtSn2(CH3)4(C14H14P)2], the Pt atom is situated in the centre of a slightly distorted square-planar ligand polyhedron. The Pt-P [2.283 (1) and 2.286 (1) Å] and Pt-Sn [2.5973 (5) and 2.6047 (5) Å] distances agree well with the corresponding distances in related compounds.
