The Anutschin Glacier ( Russian Ледник Ану́чина Lednik Anutschina ) is a glacier in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in the northern part of the Otto von Gruber Mountains to the Untersee .

The glacier was discovered and first mapped during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . A mapping based on aerial photographs and survey data was carried out by participants in the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). This was repeated by participants in the Soviet Antarctic expedition, which lasted from 1960 to 1961, and named the glacier after the Russian geographer Dmitri Nikolajewitsch Anutschin (1843-1923).
