The Priestley Glacier is a major valley glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica, about 60 nautical miles long, originating at the edge of the polar plateau. It drains southeast between the Deep Freeze Range and the Eisenhower Range into the northern end of the Nansen Ice Sheet, and was first explored by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13, and named for Raymond Priestley, the geologist of that party.
