The Diamond Glacier is a small subsidiary glacier of the Darwin Glacier near the Hillary Coast in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It flows in a narrow valley on the north side of Diamond Hill in an east-northeast direction.
Participants in a campaign that lasted from 1962 to 1963 as part of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions named it after neighboring Diamond Hill.
