The Lunde Glacier is a 40 km long glacier in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains it flows in a north-westerly direction between the mountains Håhellerskarvet and Jøkulkyrkja .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). The namesake is the Norwegian glaciologist Torbjørn Lunde (* 1928), participant in the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition.
