Domeyko Glacier is a glacier flowing southeast into Mackellar Inlet in Admiralty Bay on King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the 1980 Polish Antarctic Expedition for Ignacy Domeyko, a Polish-born explorer of the Andes who served as professor of chemistry and mineralogy, and later rector, of the University of Chile in Santiago; the Cordillera Domeyko range of the Andes is also named for him.
