The Mueller Glacier is a 13 kilometre long glacier flowing through Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. It lies to the south of Aoraki/Mount Cook, high in the Southern Alps, and flows north. Its meltwaters eventually join the Tasman River.

The glacier was named after German-Australian botanist and explorer Baron von Mueller.
