The Mueller Glacier is a 13 kilometre long glacier flowing through Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. It lies to the south of Mount Cook, high in the Southern Alps and flows north. Its meltwaters eventually join the Tasman River. The glacier was named after German-Australian botanist and explorer Baron von Mueller.
