The Lever Glacier is at least 10 km long and at its mouth 2.5 km wide glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a west-northwest direction into the head end of the northern arm of Beascochea Bay .

Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910), led by polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot, discovered and mapped it for the first time. Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , carried out new surveys in 1935. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1954 after William Lever, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme (1888-1949), a sponsor of the British Graham Land Expedition.
