Compass Glacier is a glacier flowing north-north-east into Antarctic Bay on the north coast of South Georgia.

The glacier is named after a vital piece of equipment used by Shackleton's party in their epic traverse of the island in 1916: Frank Worsley's compass, by which they navigated across the unexplored interior of South Georgia.
