Jewell Glacier is a short glacier on South Georgia, flowing south-southwest from Mount Grant into Jossac Bight on the south coast of the island. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1982 for John A. Jewell, a British Antarctic Survey field assistant who worked in the area in 1976 and 1977 and later served as base commander at Rothera Research Station from 1978 to 1980.
