The Jaburg Glacier is a large glacier in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . In the Pensacola Mountains it flows between the Dufek Massif and the Cordiner Peaks in a westerly direction.
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 from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Lieutenant Conrad J. Jaburg (1931-2015), helicopter pilot of the US Navy at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
