The Schanz Glacier is a 15 km long glacier in the Ellsworth Mountains of the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Heritage Range it flows between the Soholt Peaks and the Collier Hills in a southerly direction to the Union Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Lieutenant Commander Thomas L. Schanz, a supply officer of the Naval Air Squadron VX -6 during Operation Deep Freeze in 1965.
