The Reynolds Glacier is an 8 km long glacier in Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica . In the Haines Mountains of the Ford Ranges, it flows in an easterly direction along the south side of the Keyser Nunatak and flows into the Hammond Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Donald K. Reynolds (1919-1992), ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station from 1967 to 1968.
