The Lilienthal Glacier is a glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a westerly direction between Pilcher Peak and Baldwin Peak to the Cayley Glacier .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE, 1956–1957), which the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey used for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the glacier in 1960 after the German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal (1848-1896).
