The Duboisbreen is an approximately 11 km long glacier in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Sør Rondane Mountains, it flows between the Tanngarden and Vikinghøgda .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it in 1973. Probable namesake is the French polar researcher Jacques Dubois, head of the Charcot station in Adélieland during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958).
