Der Edwards-Gletscher ist ein Gletscher im Norden des ostantarktischen Viktorialands. In den Usarp Mountains entwässert er zwischen dem Thompson Spur und dem Schroeder Spur die Osthänge der Daniels Range.
Der United States Geological Survey kartierte ihn anhand eigener Vermessungen und Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy aus den Jahren von 1960 bis 1963. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte ihn 1970 nach Lloyd Norman Edwards (* 1937), Geologe des United States Antarctic Research Program auf der McMurdo-Station von 1967 bis 1968.
