The Otlet Glacier is a 15 km long glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows along the south side of Fontaine Heights and flows into the northern foothills of Barilari Bay .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill roughly mapped it. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a more detailed mapping using aerial photographs from Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from the years 1956 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the Belgian documentation scientist Paul Otlet (1868–1944), whose information management system was used to organize scientifically collected data.
