Barnard Glacier, Glacier in Valdez-Cordova, Alaska.

Barnard Glacier is a 53 km (33 mi) ice tongue in the Saint Elias Mountains, trending southwest to the Chitina River east of Hawkins Glacier, 64 km (40 mi) southeast of McCarthy. It heads in a large cirque and is clean and crevassed, with no medial or lateral moraines. Its north lobe ends on the lip of a hanging valley, and two streams descend from the terminus.

Barnard Glacier was named for Barnard College, the Seven Sisters member associated with Columbia University in New York. The French Wikipedia instead credits Edward Chester Barnard (1863–1921), who worked on defining the border between the United States and Canada, including Alaska's boundary. The glacier lies 64 km southeast of McCarthy and drains southwest to the Chitina River, east of Hawkins Glacier.

The glacier's name honours Barnard College, a women's college of the Seven Sisters linked to Columbia University in New York; the French sources instead credit Edward Chester Barnard (1863–1921), who worked on the Canada–United States boundary. A mature spruce forest runs from the fiord up toward the terminus, and a barren zone between ice and trees was recorded in both 1899 and 1910.

The glacier is difficult to reach and requires air transport or specialized vehicles from the nearest settlement. The best time to visit is during warmer months when weather conditions and access routes are more stable.

The ice tongue carries no medial or lateral moraines, so the surface is clean crevassed ice.
