The Reid Glacier is a glacier on the Loubet coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south on the Arrowsmith Peninsula to Bigourdan Fjord , which it reaches on the opposite side of The Narrows .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , made an initial, rough mapping. The lower section of the glacier was explored by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1948 and 1949 . He named the glacier after the US geophysicist Harry Fielding Reid (1859-1944), a pioneer of glacier research in Alaska and the Alps .
