The McCleary Glacier is a large glacier in southern East Antarctica Victoria Land . It flows west of the Tentacle Ridge in the Darwin Mountains south to the Darwin Glacier .

It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey using tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs made by the United States Navy between 1959 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the glacier in 1965 after George McCleary, public relations officer at the United States Antarctic Projects Officer (USAPO).
