'''Turner Glacier''' ({{coord|67|37|S|68|29|W|display=inline,title}}) is a [[glacier]] on the east side of [[Mount Liotard]] flowing northeast into [[Ryder Bay]], [[Adelaide Island]]. The glacier was surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), 1948, and photographed from the air by [[Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition]] (FIDASE), 1956–57. Named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1977 after [[Andrew John Turner]], [[British Antarctic Survey]] (BAS) builder, [[Halley Station]], 1973–74; [[Signy Island]], 1974–75; [[Rothera Station]], 1976–77, 1978–80; and [[Faraday Station]], 1982–83.

It should not be confused with the Turner Glacier on [[Baffin Island]] in [[Nunavut]], Canada, adjoining [[Mount Asgard]].
