Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox glacier

The Godwin-Austen Glacier is a glacier in the Karakoram range and is close to K2, the highest mountain peak in Pakistan and second highest on Earth, in Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan. Its confluence with the Baltoro Glacier is called Concordia and is a popular trekking destination as it provides views of four of the five eight-thousanders in the region.

The glacier can be approached via the Balti town of Skardu. It receives its name from Henry Haversham Godwin-Austen, an early explorer of this region. K2 was originally named Mount Godwin-Austin in his honour.
