Okstindbreen is the eighth-largest glacier in mainland Norway and the largest of the nineteen glaciers of the Okstindan area, which together covered about 46 square kilometres in 2010, in Hemnes Municipality, Nordland County. It comprises an ice field including the outlet glaciers Vestisen, Vestre Okstindbreen, Austre Okstindbreen, Bessedorbreen, Steikvassbreen, Vestre Svartfjellbreen and Oksfjellbreen, and its own area shrank by 31 percent over ten years, from 53.6 square kilometres in 2012 to 36.9 square kilometres in 2022.
