Collins Glacier (73°41′S 65°55′E) is a glacier about 11 nautical miles (20 km) wide at its confluence with the Mellor Glacier, which it feeds from the southwest, located north of Mount Newton in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from air photos taken in 1956 and 1960, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Neville Joseph Collins, senior diesel mechanic at Mawson Station, 1960.
