Comrie Glacier is a glacier about 13 nautical miles long on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing west to enter the head of Bigo Bay. It was first sighted and roughly surveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition in 1909 and resurveyed in 1935-36 by the British Graham Land Expedition, which later named it for Leslie J. Comrie, founder and first director of the Scientific Computing Service Ltd of London, who as superintendent of HM Nautical Almanac Office in 1934 assisted the expedition by providing advance copies of the Nautical Almanac up to 1937.
