The Wallis Glacier is an approximately 30 km long glacier in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the northwestern part of the Admiralty Mountains, it flows in a northerly, then northwestern direction and flows into the Somow Sea on the Pennell coast together with the Nash and Dennistoun glaciers east of Cape Scott .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Staff Sergeant Nathaniel Wallis, who on October 15, 1958 when a C141 Globemaster crashed died at Cape Roget along with five other passengers.
