The Tschierva Glacier, called Vadret da Tschierva in Romansh, is a glacier in the Bernina Range in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, measuring about 4 kilometers in length as of 2005 and covering 6.2 square kilometers as of 1973. Like most glaciers in the Bernina Range it is currently retreating, part of a broader pattern of decline among the glaciers of the Swiss Alps.
