The Noll Glacier is a 32 km long glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from Jones-Nunatak in the Wilson Hills first in a north-easterly direction, then turns at Wegert Bluff in a north-westerly direction and flows into the Tomilin Glacier shortly before reaching the Somow Sea .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it from surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Major Edmund P. Noll of the United States Marine Corps , air transport officer and commander of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules of the VX-6 flight squadron during Operation Deep Freeze in 1968.
