The Humphries Glacier is a steep glacier in the Victory Mountains of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows 5 km east of the Ingham Glacier in a mainly southwestern direction to the Borchgrevink Glacier , which it reaches northwest of Mount Prior .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after the New Zealand ionospheric researcher John Gerard Humphries, who worked at Hallett Station in 1957 .
