Henningsen Glacier is a glacier on South Georgia Island, 3 nautical miles (6 kilometers) long, flowing southwest to the island coast between Cape Darnley and Rocky Bay. It was surveyed between 1951 and 1957 by the South Georgia Survey expedition led by Duncan Carse, and was later named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Leonard Henningsen, who managed the Tonsbergs Hvalfangeri whaling station at Husvik from 1945 to 1950.
