The Sullivan Glacier is a glacier in the north of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . It flows immediately south of the Elgar Uplands to the west into the Gilbert Glacier .

It was discovered in 1937 during an overflight as part of the British Grahamland Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Aerial photographs that were taken during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) under the direction of the American polar explorer Finn Ronne were used by the British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960 for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the glacier in 1961 after the British composer Arthur Sullivan (1842–1900).
