The Priestley Glacier ( 74°20′S, 163°22′E) is a major valley glacier, about 96 km (60 mi) long, originating at the edge of the polar plateau of Victoria Land. The glacier drains southeast between the Deep Freeze and Eisenhower ranges to enter the northern end of the Nansen Ice Sheet.

First explored by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13, and named for Raymond E. Priestley, geologist with the Northern Party.
