Vallot Glacier is a glacier on the Arrowsmith Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing northwest to Laubeuf Fjord just south of the Lewis Peaks, at about 67 degrees 18 minutes south, 67 degrees 30 minutes west. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from surveys and air photographs taken between 1948 and 1959, and was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Joseph Vallot, a French naturalist and glaciologist who was the first to measure a glacier surface velocity over a long period, in Switzerland between 1891 and 1899.
