Nordenskjold Glacier is a large glacier in South Georgia.
The glacier flows north and has its terminus at the head of Cumberland East Bay, on the north coast of the island. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition and named after Otto Nordenskiöld, leader of the expedition. Sheridan Peak sits near the glacier's head.
