The Aagaard Glacier is an approximately 13 km long glacier on the Foyn coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows east of the Gould Glacier in a southerly direction to Mill Inlet .

The first aerial photos of the glacier were taken during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The area was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), which named the ice flow after the Norwegian Antarctic historian Bjarne Aagaard (1873-1956), an authority on Norwegian whaling in the Antarctic.
