The Heidemann Glacier is an 8 km glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, it flows from the area northwest of Mount Dam in an easterly direction to the Lowery Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after the glaciologist Richard P. Heidemann, who was part of the United States Antarctic Research Program worked on Roosevelt Island from 1962 to 1963 .
