Ragotzkie Glacier (80°2′S 157°45′E / 80.033°S 157.750°E / -80.033; 157.750) is a glacier in the Britannia Range, about 10 nautical miles (18 km) long, flowing northward along the west side of Mount Aldrich and coalescing with other north-flowing glaciers which enter the Hatherton Glacier to the southwest of Junction Spur. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Robert A. Ragotzkie, project director for United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) studies of lakes in the ice-free valleys. He made personal studies in Victoria Land in the 1962–63 season.

Ragotzkie Icefall (80°3′S 158°0′E / 80.050°S 158.000°E / -80.050; 158.000) is an icefall 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) wide in the E-central part of Ragotzkie Glacier, Britannia Range. The icefall is a significant distributary of Ragotzkie ice to Alley Glacier, which occupies the valley to the east. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in association with Ragotzkie Glacier.
