Horton Glacier is a glacier on Adelaide Island, Antarctica, flowing southeast from the eastern side of Mount Barre and Mount Gaudry to terminate in Ryder Bay. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 for Colin P. Horton, a British Antarctic Survey builder who worked at the nearby Rothera Station from 1976 to 1977.
