The Dugdale Glacier is a 40 km long valley glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows in the Admiralty Mountains along the western flank of Geikie Ridge in a northeasterly direction to Robertson Bay on the Pennell Coast , where it merges with the Murray Glacier west of the Duke of York Island .

The glacier was first mapped by participants in the Southern Cross Expedition (1898–1900) under the direction of the Norwegian polar explorer Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink . Borchgrevink named him after Frank Dugdale (1857-1925), a sponsor of the expedition from Snitterfield in Stratford-on-Avon .
