Skelton Névé (

78°20′S 160°0′E / 78.333°S 160.000°E / -78.333; 160.000Coordinates: 78°20′S 160°0′E / 78.333°S 160.000°E / -78.333; 160.000) is the immense névé^[1] of the Skelton Glacier, lying on the west side of the Royal Society Range. Almost circular in outline, it is about 40 mi (64 km) in diameter and has an area of about 1,300 sq mi (3,400 km²). It was surveyed by New Zealand parties of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), who named it for its relationship to the Skelton Glacier.
