Remington Glacier is a steep glacier about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long in Doyran Heights in the Sentinel Range of Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It rises just north of McPherson Peak and flows east-southeast to debouch between the terminus of Hough Glacier and Johnson Spur.
Discovered by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on photographic flights of December 14–15, 1959, and mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from these photos.
Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Edward W. Remington, glaciologist at the South Pole Station during the IGY in 1957.
