Morrison Glacier is a glacier about 3 nautical miles long between the Attlee Glacier and the Eden Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing south to the head of Cabinet Inlet. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for the Rt. Hon. Herbert Morrison, a British Member of Parliament, Home Secretary, and member of the War Cabinet, and it was photographed from the air that same year during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition under Finn Ronne.
