Hurley Glacier (67°34’0"N, 68°31’60"W) is a glacier between Mount Gaudry and Mount Liotard, flowing east into Ryder Bay on the coast of Adelaide Island, which lies off the west coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The glacier was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after Alec J. Hurley, a British Antarctic Survey mechanic at Halley Station 1975–76, and at Rothera Station 1976–77.
