The Martin Glacier is a 14 km long and up to 5 km wide glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows initially in a westerly and later in a north-westerly direction from the southern flank of Mount Lupa to the southeastern section of Rymill Bay , where it flows into the Bertrand-Piedmont Glacier .

Measurements of the glacier were carried out by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill and in 1948 and 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . It is named after James Hamilton Martin (1899-1940), first mate of the research vessel Penola at Rymill's Expedition and previously a member of the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929-1931) under the direction of Douglas Mawson .
