Hoek Glacier is a glacier on the northwest coast of the Velingrad Peninsula on the Graham Coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing into Dimitrov Cove northeast of Veshka Point, south of the Llanquihue Islands. It was charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill between 1934 and 1937, and was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Henry W. Hoek, a Swiss ski-mountaineer and author of one of the earliest skiing manuals.
