The Harbord Glacier is a glacier in the Prince Albert Mountains of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows past the south side of Mount George Murray and flows into the Ross Sea as the Harbord glacier tongue on the Scott coast south of the Whitmer Peninsula .

The glacier and the glacier tongue were discovered by participants in the Nimrod expedition (1907-1909) under the direction of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton and named after Arthur Edward Harbord (1883-1961), who participated in the expedition as a crew member of the expedition ship Nimrod .
