Hamberg Glacier ({{coord|54|21|S|36|31|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a glacier which flows in an east-northeasterly direction from the northeast side of Mount Sugartop to the west side of the head of Moraine Fjord, South Georgia. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for Axel Hamberg, a Swedish geographer, mineralogist and Arctic explorer.{{cite web | url = https://geographic.org/geographic_names/antname.php?uni=3873&fid=antgeo_106 |title = Hamberg Glacier, Antarctica | website = Geographical Names | publisher = | accessdate = 22 January 2018}}
