The Wyatt Glacier is a 10 km long, steep and narrow glacier in southern Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south from the central plateau near Beehive Hill to the upper section of the Gibbs Glacier .
Aerial photographs were taken in 1947 during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out surveys in May 1958. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the glacier in 1962 after Henry Turner Wyatt (* 1932), doctor of the survey on Detaille Island in 1957 and on Stonington Island the following year.
