Catspaw Glacier (77°42′S 161°43′E / 77.700°S 161.717°E / -77.700; 161.717) is a small alpine glacier just west of Stocking Glacier, flowing south from the slopes north of Taylor Glacier, in Victoria Land. It was so named by Thomas Griffith Taylor of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, because of its resemblance to a cat's paw.
