The Snuggerudbreen is a glacier in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Filchner Mountains of the Orvinfjella it flows between the Klevekåpa mountain and the Småknoltane mountain range in a north-northeast direction.
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped it on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after John Snuggerud, who worked as a radio technician on this research trip between 1956 and 1958.
