Turner Glacier (67°37’0"S, 68°28’60"W) is a glacier on the east side of Mount Liotard flowing northeast 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 surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1948, and photographed from the air by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after Andrew John Turner, a British Antarctic Survey builder at Halley Station 1973–74; on Signy Island 1974–75; at Rothera Station 1976–77 and 1978–80; and at Faraday Station 1982-83.
