The Kelly Glacier is a steep glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Admiralty Mountains it flows from Mount Peacock in a south-westerly direction to the Tucker Glacier , which it reaches immediately south of Mount Titus .
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 Lieutenant Anthony J. Kelly of the US Navy, medical officer on the Hallett- Station in 1961.
