Falkner Glacier is an east-flowing valley glacier about 4 nautical miles long, located 2 nautical miles south of Oakley Glacier in the Mountaineer Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It descends steeply to Lady Newnes Bay, where it forms a floating glacier tongue, and it was named in 2008 for Kelly K. Falkner, a chemical oceanographer who served as the first Program Director for the Antarctic Integrated System Science Program at the National Science Foundation.
