The Garrard Glacier is a glacier in the Queen Alexandra chain of the Transantarctic Mountains , which flows in an easterly direction from the firn field between Mount Lockwood and Mount Kirkpatrick and reaches the Beardmore Glacier south of Bell Bluff .

In maps that were created during the Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott , the name Garrard Glacier is assigned to an object that the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton used on his Nimrod expedition (1907 -1909) had already been named as the Bingley Glacier . In the course of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961-1962) Shackleton's name was retained and the name was transferred to a previously unnamed glacier. It is named after the British polar explorer Apsley Cherry-Garrard (1886–1959), a participant in the Terra Nova expedition.
