Hayes Glacier is a glacier in Coats Land, Antarctica, that enters the southeast part of the Weddell Sea about 17 miles (27 kilometers) west-southwest of Dawson-Lambton Glacier. It is about 17 nautical miles (31 kilometers) long. The glacier was plotted by the United States Geological Survey from photographs taken during a United States Navy LC-130 flight over the Caird Coast on November 5, 1967, and the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it for Lieutenant Commander Winston R. Hayes, the U.S. Navy Reserve pilot of that flight. A separate, unrelated Hayes Glacier exists in Greenland.
