Leidy Glacier (), is a glacier in northwestern Greenland. Administratively it belongs to the Avannaata municipality.

Geography The Leidy Glacier discharges from the Greenland Ice Sheet through the Academy Glacier.
The glacier flows roughly from SE to NW and, after forming an unusual cross pattern, it has its terminus at the head of the Academy Fjord to the northwest and, as the Marie Glacier, at the head of the Olrik Fjord to the southwest.Greenland’s Leidy Glacier; NASA Earth Observatory
