The Rohn Glacier is the left source glacier of the Nizina Glacier on the southern flank of the eastern Wrangell Mountains in Alaska (USA).
The 26.5 km long Rohn Glacier has its nutrient area 5 km northeast of the summit of Regal Mountain at an altitude of 2500 m . It initially flows 11 km in an easterly direction. The Whiskey Hill Glacier meets the Rohn Glacier when coming from the north. Then this turns to the southeast and later to the south. The width of the glacier is 2.1 km. The Rohn Glacier finally unites at an altitude of about 1050 m with the Regal Glacier coming from the west to form the Nizina Glacier.
The glacier was named in 1901 by the US Geological Survey (USGS) after Oscar Rohn, who crossed this glacier in 1899.
