Woodbury Glacier (64°47′S 62°20′W / 64.783°S 62.333°WCoordinates: 64°47′S 62°20′W / 64.783°S 62.333°W) is a glacier on the west coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It lies just west of the Montgolfier Glacier, flowing slowly into Piccard Cove in Wilhelmina Bay.
The glacier was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from air photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956-57. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 after Walter B Woodbury (1834–1885), British pioneer of photomechanical printing in 1865 and of serial film cameras for use in balloons and kites in 1877.
