The Silverthrone Glacier is a glacier in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is one of two large valley glaciers at the head of Knight Inlet, the other being the Klinaklini Glacier.[1][2][3] Both glaciers drain the approximately 3,600 km2 (1,400 mi2) Ha-Iltzuk Icefield and converge before flowing south towards Knight Inlet.[1]

The Silverthrone Glacier shares its name with Silverthrone Mountain and the Silverthrone Caldera, both of which are volcanic features that have formed in the last one million years.[4]
