Garwood Glacier (78°1′S 163°57′ECoordinates: 78°1′S 163°57′E) is a glacier occupying the northwest part of Garwood Valley, in Victoria Land. It was first mapped by the Discovery expedition (1901-04), but not named until 1911, when it was named by Taylor of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) for Edmund J. Garwood, professor of geology and mineralogy at the University of London.
