The Inter Glacier, sometimes called the Interglacier, is a small glacier on the northeast face of Mount Rainier in Washington state, covering an estimated 0.53 square kilometers as of 2021. It lies atop a wedge called the Steamboat Prow between the Emmons Glacier to the south and the Winthrop Glacier to the north, flowing from about 9,400 feet down to a moraine at 7,000 feet near the subsidiary peak Mount Ruth. Its meltwater is the source of the Inter Fork of the White River.
