The Pitzman Glacier is a 10 km long glacier in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Usarp Mountains it drains the southeastern slopes of the Pomerantz Tafelland and flows eastwards between Mount Lowman and Williams Bluff to the Oates coast , where it flows into a foreland glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after the biologist Frederick J. Pitzman (* 1941), who between 1967 and 1968 as part of the United States Antarctic Research Program at the McMurdo station worked.
