<p>Der <b>Nimitz-Gletscher</b> ist ein rund 65 km langer und 8 km breiter <a href="Gletscher" title="Gletscher">Gletscher</a> im westantarktischen <a href="Ellsworthland" title="Ellsworthland">Ellsworthland</a>. Er entwässert ein Gebiet rund 16 km westlich des <a href="Mount_Vinson" title="Mount Vinson">Vinson-Massivs</a> und fließt in südöstlicher Richtung zwischen der <a href="Sentinel_Range" title="Sentinel Range">Sentinel Range</a> und der <a href="Bastien_Range" title="Bastien Range">Bastien Range</a> im zentralen <a href="Ellsworthgebirge" title="Ellsworthgebirge">Ellsworthgebirge</a>, bis er schließlich in den <a href="Minnesota-Gletscher" title="Minnesota-Gletscher">Minnesota-Gletscher</a> mündet.
</p><p>Entdeckt wurde er bei einem Erkundungsflug der Flugstaffel VX-6 der <a href="United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">United States Navy</a> zur Erstellung von Luftaufnahmen des Gebiets zwischen dem 14. und 15. Dezember 1959. Diese Aufnahmen dienten dem <a href="United_States_Geological_Survey" title="United States Geological Survey">United States Geological Survey</a> für eine Kartierung. Das <a href="Advisory_Committee_on_Antarctic_Names" title="Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names">Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names</a> benannte den Gletscher 1961 nach Fleet Admiral <a href="Chester_W._Nimitz" title="Chester W. Nimitz">Chester W. Nimitz</a> (1885–1966), Leiter der Marineoperationen bei der <a href="Operation_Highjump" title="Operation Highjump">Operation Highjump</a> (1946–1947).
