The Flanagan Glacier is a glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Pioneer Heights of the Heritage Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows from the Thompson Escarpment in an easterly direction between the Gross Hills and the Nimbus Hills to the lower section of the Union Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Lieutenant Walter B. Flanagan, assistant maintenance officer in the VX-6 squadron McMurdo Station during Operation Deep Freeze in 1963 and 1964.
