The Kreutz snow field is a 5 km² snow field in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Cruzen Range it is bounded to the south by Forsyth Peak , to the west by the Upper Victoria Firnfield , to the north by Mount Leland and to the east by Mount Isaac .

The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2005 after the American climatologist Karl J. Kreutz of the University of Maine , who from 1994 to 1997 based on ice cores from the Siple Dome and between 2003 and 2005 using the same types of the Taylor and Clark Glacier had studied the climatic changes during the Holocene .
