Redoubt Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, on the east slopes of Mount Redoubt.{{Cite map|publisher=TopoQwest (United States Geological Survey Maps)|title=Mount Redoubt, WA|url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=48.95589&lon=-121.27695&datum=nad83&zoom=8&map=auto&coord=d&mode=zoomout&size=m|accessdate=May 11, 2013}} Redoubt Glacier descends from the {{convert|8400|ft|adj=on}} point on the east slope of Mount Redoubt then has a south terminus near {{convert|7200|ft|abbr=on}}. The glacier then has a shallow gradient for most of its course before descending north on a wide {{convert|1.5|mi|abbr=on}} front to {{convert|6500|ft|abbr=on}}. Melt from the glacier feeds into Depot Creek which flows into Chilliwack Lake. The Depot Glacier lies to the west of Redoubt Glacier.{{cite book|last=Beckey|first=Fred|title=Cascade Alpine Guide: Climbing and High Routes Rainy Pass to Fraser River|year=2008|publisher=The Mountaineers Books|isbn=9781594854309|page=142}}
