The McCraw Glacier is a glacier in the Australian Antarctic Territory . In the Britannia Range, it flows from the northwest slopes of Mount Olympus in a northerly direction west of Johnstone Ridge to the Hatherton Glacier .

A team of geologists from the University of Waikato , who worked in the area between 1978 and 1979, made the designation. It is named after the New Zealand soil scientist John Davidson McCraw (1925-2014), who was involved in explorations in the Antarctic dry valleys between 1959 and 1960 .
