The Yoder Glacier is a 5 km long glacier flanked by steep rock faces in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the center of the Kohler Range, it flows southwest of Morrison Bluff to the Kohler Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1971. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1976 after Robert Dunathan Yoder (1923-2005), chairman of the Interagency Committee on Antarctica in United States Department of State from 1970 to 1973.
