Quensel Glacier is a small glacier on South Georgia, flowing southeast into Cooper Bay at the island's eastern tip. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Percy D. Quensel, a Swedish geologist at Uppsala University who visited South Georgia with Carl Skottsberg in 1909.
