The DeBreuck Glacier is a 13 km long glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range it flows from the south into the Kent Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after the glaciologist William DeBreuck, who was part of the United States Antarctic Research Program from 1962 until 1963 worked at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station .
