The DeAngelo Glacier is a glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows in the Admiralty Mountains from the slopes of Mount Robinson in a south-westerly direction to the Moubray Glacier , which it reaches south of Mount Ruegg .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Airman First Class Richard J. DeAngelo of the United States Air Force , who on October 15, 1958, together with five other crew members, was killed in the crash of a Douglas C-124 Globemaster II at Cape Roget as part of an Operation Deep Freeze .
