The Douglas Glacier is a glacier on the Lassiter Coast in the east of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in an east-northeast direction through the center of the Werner Mountains and meets the Bryan Glacier just before it joins the New Bedford Inlet and north of Mount Broome .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1967. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Everett L. Douglas, a biologist at Palmer Station in the Antarctic summer of 1967 until 1968.
