The Massey Glacier is a 10 km long glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Admiralty Mountains, it flows from the western slopes of Meier Peak in a westerly direction along the south side of Wylie Ridge to the Man-o-War Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after C. Stanton Massey, a meteorologist at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1968 .
