Katsuk Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, in a cirque to the north of Katsuk Peak and east of Kimtah Peak. Both Katsuk and Kimtah Peaks are prominent summits along a ridge known as Jagged Edge. Katsuk Glacier consists of three disconnected sections, the largest of which stretches for over 1 mi (1.6 km) in width. Kimtah Glacier is immediately west of Katsuk Glacier, while the Mesahchie Glacier lies to the east.
