The Gleaner Heights (62°35′S 60°15′W) are a series of elevations extending southwest from Leslie Hill in the eastern part of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1958 after the American brig Gleaner, which was diverted to sealing in the South Shetland Islands in 1820–21.
