Bell Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica that drains northward into Maury Bay immediately east of Blair Glacier. It was mapped in 1955 by Gardner Dean Blodgett from aerial photographs taken during the United States Navy Operation Highjump of 1946 and 1947, and it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Thomas G. Bell, boatswain on the sloop Peacock during the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838 to 1842 under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes.
