Larson Valley is a relatively smooth, ice-filled valley between Inferno Ridge and Mhire Spur in the Heritage Range of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and United States Navy aerial photographs taken between 1961 and 1966, and the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it for D. L. Larson, a Navy equipment operator who worked as a snow-removal operator at Williams Field during Operation Deep Freeze in 1965 and 1966.
