The Guerrero Glacier is an 11 km glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It flows in the southeastern part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains from the southeastern slopes of Mount Havener to the south side of the Taylor Spur .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1957 and 1959. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2006 after the American meteorologist John Francis Guerrero († 2006), who in 1957 on the South Pole Station was active.
