Cervellati Glacier (78°23′S 85°43′W / 78.383°S 85.717°W / -78.383; -85.717Coordinates: 78°23′S 85°43′W / 78.383°S 85.717°W / -78.383; -85.717) is the 5 nmi (9 km; 6 mi) long glacier situated southeast of Patton Glacier and northwest of Ramorino Glacier on the east slope of Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It flows northeastwards between Tyree Ridge and Epperly Ridge, and enters Crosswell Glacier southeast of Mount Bearskin. The feature was named by US-ACAN in 2006 after Roberto Cervellati, Italian representative to the SCAR Expert Group on Geographic Information, 1992-2006, and director of the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica in the same period.
