The Tsanfleuron Glacier (French: Glacier de Tsanfleuron) is a 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long glacier (2005) situated in the western Bernese Alps in the cantons of Valais and Vaud in Switzerland. In 1973 it had an area of 3.81 km2 (1.47 sq mi).

Most of the glacier is used as a ski area and is better known under the name Glacier 3000 or Glacier des Diablerets (the latter is in fact a nearby smaller glacier on the summit of the Diablerets). The area can be reached from the Scex Rouge.
