The Kander Glacier (German: Kanderfirn) is a 6.6 km (4.1 mi) long glacier (2005) situated in the Bernese Alps in the canton of Berne in Switzerland. In 1973 it had an area of 13.9 km2 (5.4 sq mi).
The glacier feeds the head waters of the Kander, a river that flows into Lake Thun, and hence into the Aar and the Rhine.
