The Anderson Glacier is a very rugged glacier 19 km in length on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a south-easterly direction into the Cabinet Inlet , which it reaches between Cape Casey and Balder Point on the Foyn coast of Graham Land.

The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped it in 1947 based on its own measurements. Aerial photographs were taken in December 1947 during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The FIDS named the glacier after the British politician John Anderson, 1st Viscount Waverley (1882-1958), Lord President of the Council and from 1943 to 1945 Chancellor of the Treasury in the War Cabinet Winston Churchill .
