De Haven Glacier is a broad glacier flowing to the southwest corner of Porpoise Bay in Wilkes Land, Antarctica. It was delineated in 1955 by Gardner Dean Blodgett from aerial photographs taken during the 1946-47 U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Edwin De Haven, acting master on the sloop Vincennes during the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-42 under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes.
