Grainger Valley (70°45′S 67°52′E) is a valley 12 nautical miles (22 km) long and up to 1 nautical mile (2 km) wide separating Manning Massif and McLeod Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1956, and was crossed in February 1969 by a survey party during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D. Grainger, a geologist with the party, who also took part in the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1970.
