Karpinsky Glacier, also called the Karpinsky Ice Cap, is a large ice cap on October Revolution Island in the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Covering about 2,800 square kilometers, it is the largest of the island's seven ice caps and reaches 963 meters at its summit, the highest point in Severnaya Zemlya. It is named for the Russian geologist Aleksandr Petrovich Karpinsky.
