De Haven Glacier (67°3′S 127°32′E) is a broad glacier flowing to the southwest corner of Porpoise Bay. It was delineated by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Edmund H. De Haven, Acting Master on the sloop Vincennes during the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes.
