The Montecchi Glacier is a glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Victory Mountains, it flows east from Bertalan Peak to the Tucker Glacier , which it reaches just north of Mount Hazlett .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Pietrantonio Montecchi, geophysicist at McMurdo Station from 1966 to 1967.
