'''Smith Glacier''' is a low-gradient [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] [[glacier]], over 160 km (100 mi) long, draining from [[Toney Mountain]], [[Westarctica]] in an east-northeast direction to the [[Amundsen Sea]].

A northern distributary, the [[Kohler Glacier]], drains to [[Dotson Ice Shelf]] but the main flow passes to the sea between [[Bear Peninsula]] and [[Mount Murphy]], terminating at the [[Crosson Ice Shelf]].

==Discovery and name==
Mapped by U.S. Geologic Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air reconnaissance photos, 1959–65.

It was named by US-ACAN after Philip M. Smith (Smith Bluffs), Deputy Director, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, who in the period 1956–71 participated in a large number of expeditions to Antarctica in field and supervisory capacities.
