Falkner Glacier (-73.75°N, 166.01667°W), is an east-flowing valley glacier, 4 nmi long, located 2 nmi south of Oakley Glacier in the Mountaineer Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The glacier descends steeply to Lady Newnes Bay where it forms a floating glacier tongue. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2008) after Kelly K.
