Hourihan Glacier (80°8′S 158°45′E) is a glacier draining the south slopes of Ward Tower in the Britannia Range, Antarctica, and flowing southeast to Merrick Glacier. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with Byrd Glacier and Merrick Glacier, after Captain Joseph J. Hourihan, U.S. Navy, captain of USS Merrick (AKA-97), a cargo vessel of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, led by Admiral Byrd.
