Deming Glacier is a mountain glacier on the southwest slopes of Mount Baker in the North Cascades of Whatcom County, Washington, bordered by the Easton Glacier to the east and the Black Buttes ridge to the west. It is about 3.6 kilometers long and ends at a moraine and talus field. The glacier retreated more than 7,000 feet between 1850 and 1950, then advanced about 2,000 feet from 1950 to 1979, before retreating again by roughly 1,140 feet between 1980 and 2006, and it continues to retreat today. It takes its name from the town of Deming, Washington, whose residents built a trail to Mount Baker in 1909.
