Brush Glacier (74°29′S 111°36′W) is a broad glacier in the northwest part of the Bear Peninsula, flowing west into Dotson Ice Shelf to the north of Jeffrey Head, in Westarctica. The head of the glacier is marked by rocky, wedge-shaped Rogers Spur. Webster Pass divides Brush Glacier from Holt Glacier.

The glacier was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in January 1947. Brush Glacier was named for station engineer Bernard E. Brush.
