Butler Glacier (77°24′S 152°42′W / 77.400°S 152.700°W) is a broad glacier draining the north side of Edward VII Peninsula in the vicinity of Clark Peak, and flowing generally northeastward through the Alexandra Mountains to its terminus in Sulzberger Bay. It was mapped from surveys by the United States Geological Survey and from U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant F.M. Butler, U.S. Navy, expedition navigator in charge of all navigation watch sections on USS Glacier during the exploration of this area in January 1962.
