The Doss Glacier is a small glacier in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica . It flows from the northern slopes of the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains to the Nimrod Glacier , into which it joins immediately east of Mount Boman .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own tellurometer measurements and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years between 1960 and 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Edgar L. Doss (1920–1990), glaciologist of the United States States Antarctic Research Program on Roosevelt Island from 1962 to 1963.
