The Twombley Glacier is a 10 km long glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It flows from the north side of the Kent Plateau to the south side of the Byrd Glacier .

The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1965 incorrectly after Chester E. Twombly (1918-1984) of the United States Weather Bureau , a member of the winter team at Little America V station in 1956.
