Astro Glacier (82°54′S 157°20′E / 82.900°S 157.333°E / -82.900; 157.333Coordinates: 82°54′S 157°20′E / 82.900°S 157.333°E / -82.900; 157.333) is a glacier in Antarctica, between the Turner Hills and Tricorn Peak in the Miller Range, flowing northeast into the Marsh Glacier. It was seen by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) and so named because an astronomical station was set up on the bluff at the mouth of the glacier in December 1961.
