The Teram Shehr Glacier or Teram Shehr is located in the eastern Karakoram in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir .

The 28 km long glacier separates Siachen Muztagh in the north from Rimo Muztagh in the south. The Teram Shehr Glacier flows from the western flank of the 6,863  m high Terong Kangri initially as the Upper Teram Shehr Glacier in a north-northwest direction. Later it turns to the west, flows along the southern flank of the Apsarasas Kangri I ( 7245  m ) and finally flows into the Siachen Glacier, which flows south . The 7,030  m high Padmanabh rises to the west of the glacier . The 6,096  m high Italian Col leads from the Teram Shehr Glacier to the Middle Rimo Glacier to the east .
