Nordenskioldbreen is a glacier on Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago, measuring about 25 kilometers long and 11 kilometers wide as it flows roughly southwestward between Dickson Land and Bunsow Land. It terminates in Adolfsbukta, an inlet of Billefjorden, and takes its name from the nineteenth-century Finnish geologist Adolf Erik Nordenskiold, honoring his contributions to Arctic exploration and geographic research.
