Rayner Glacier is a prominent glacier about 19 kilometers wide that flows north to the coast of Enderby Land in East Antarctica, just west of Condon Hills. It was sighted in October 1956 by Squadron Leader D. Leckie during an ANARE flight in a Beaver aircraft, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. M. Rayner, Director of the Bureau of Mineral Resources in the Australian Department of National Development.
