Guyot Glacier is a glacier 34 miles (55 kilometers) long and 8 miles (13 kilometers) wide, located at the east end of the Robinson Mountains in the U.S. state of Alaska. It begins about 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) north of Yaga Peak and flows east-southeast to Icy Bay, south of the Guyot Hills and 73 miles (117 kilometers) northwest of Yakutat, bordering Yahtse Glacier on the northeast.
