Holyoke Glacier is a glacier about 1.5 miles long on the west bank of College Fjord in the U.S. state of Alaska, roughly 6.8 miles southwest of College Point and 65 miles east of Anchorage. It was named in 1908 by U.S. Grant and D.F. Higgins of the United States Geological Survey, for Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts.
