A. Harmsworth Glacier or Alfred Harmsworth Glacier (Danish: A. Harmsworth Gletscher) is a glacier in northern Greenland.^[1] Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park.

The glacier was named by Robert Peary after British newspaper magnate Alfred Harmsworth, who had gifted him expedition ship "Windward" following a lecture on Polar exploration Peary gave at the Royal Geographical Society in 1897.^[2]

The A. Harmsworth Glacier is flowing roughly to the NW and has its terminus at the head of the Benedict Fjord. It fills most of the inner fjord.^[3] Gertrud Rask Land lies on its eastern side and Roosevelt Land in the west. The glacier has a velocity of 160 m (520 ft) per year.^[4]

The peaks of the Roosevelt Range rise on both sides and at the head of the A. Harmsworth Glacier. To the east some peaks rise to heights above 1,500 m (4,900 ft). The A. Harmsworth Glacier is one of the large glaciers in the area.^[5]
