Mackay Glacier is a large glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica, descending eastward from the Antarctic Plateau between the Convoy Range and the Clare Range into the southern part of Granite Harbour. It was discovered during the 1907-09 British Antarctic Expedition and named after Alistair Mackay, a member of the expedition's South Magnetic Pole party. Its terminus forms the Mackay Glacier Tongue, positioned south of the Evans Piedmont and Mawson glaciers and north of the Wilson Piedmont and Ferrar glaciers.
