The Kenney Glacier is a 1.5 km long glacier in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula, it flows from the Nunatakkern The Pyramid and The Saddlestone in a north-westerly direction to the Depot Glacier , which it reaches not far from its confluence with Hope Bay .
Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped it in 1945 and 1948. After surveys in 1955, they named it after Richard Ralph Kenney (* 1929), FIDS geodesist in Hope Bay in 1954 and 1955, who carried out detailed measurements of the Between Hope Bay and Duse Bay .
