O'Higgins Glacier is a glacier in Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in Chile and one of the principal glaciers of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Its accumulation zone is capped by the summit of the active Lautaro volcano, and most of the glacier forms part of the icefield's plateau. It flows eastward into O'Higgins Lake and is about 2 kilometers wide at its terminus.
