Tucker Glacier is a major valley glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica, roughly 90 nautical miles long. It flows southeast between the Admiralty Mountains and the Victory Mountains to reach the Ross Sea. Near the head of the glacier lies a snow saddle just west of the Homerun Range, from which the Ebbe Glacier flows off to the northwest.
