The Peterbreen is a short and wide glacier in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Kirwanveggen it flows in a northeasterly direction immediately east of the Neumayer steep wall and the Mellebynuten to the Jutulstraumen .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) from 1958 to 1959 Peter Melleby (* 1917), responsible for sled dogs at the NBSAE.
