The Neny Glacier is a glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a north-westerly direction into the northern part of the Neny Fjord . Together with the Gibbs Glacier, which flows in a southeastern direction, it lies in a diagonal depression between the Neny Fjord on the west coast and the Mercator Piedmont Glacier on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The name of the glacier goes to scientists United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941), who used the glacier as an ascent route. Its name is derived from the fjord of the same name, named by the French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot in 1909.
