Dobbratz Glacier is a broad tributary glacier in the Heritage Range of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica, rising in the southern part of the White Escarpment and flowing northeast between the Watlack Hills and Webers Peaks before draining into Splettstoesser Glacier. It was named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party, which mapped the area during the 1963-64 Antarctic field season, in honor of Major Joseph Dobbratz, a United States Marine Corps pilot who provided logistical support to the expedition.
