Swift Glacier ({{coord|64|22|S|57|46|W|display=inline,title}}) is a steep glacier about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long, close west of Jefford Point, James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The name is descriptive, this being one of the most active glaciers on the island.
