Svartisen is a glacier located in Norway. The system consists of two separate glaciers, the Vestre Svartisen (221 km²), which is the second largest glacier in the country after Jostedalsbreen, and Østre Svartisen (148 km²) which is the country's fourth largest.

The glaciers are located within the municipalities of Saltdal, Rana, Rødøy, Meløy, Gildeskål, Beiarn and Bodø, all in the county of Nordland. There are also a number of minor glaciers in the area, such as Glombreen in the northern part of Meløy, and Simlebreen in Beiarn. One of the extensions of Svartisen, Engabreen ends at the lowest point of any glacier on the European mainland, at 7 meters above sea level (in 2004). Svartisen is part of Saltfjellet-Svartisen national park. Melted water from the glacier is collected and used for hydropower production.
