Rowley Corridor is a high pass through the Batterbee Mountains on Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
This pass crosses from north to south at about 2,460 feet above sea level between the Ryder Glacier and Conchie Glacier, and it separates Mount Unicorn, Mount Bagshawe and the Butler Peaks to the east from the coastal peaks bordering George VI Sound.
The feature was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey in 1962-72, and named after David Noel Rowley (b. 1937), senior pilot with the British Antarctic Survey from 1969 to 1974, whose flying operations covered this area.
