Cumpston Glacier is a small glacier on the east coast of Graham Land in Antarctica, draining into Mill Inlet between the neighboring Breitfuss and Quartermain glaciers. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for J.S. Cumpston, an Australian historian of Antarctic exploration. Detailed information on its length and date of discovery remains sparse in published sources.
