A comprehensive list of glaciers in Canada began with glacial surveys by the Water Survey of Canada (WSC) from 1945 to 1980,[1] including an inventory begun for the International Geophysical Year (1957–58) and contributions to the World Glacier Inventory (WGI, now part of the World Glacier Monitoring Service) for the International Hydrological Decade (1965–1974).[2]

In mainland Canada, glaciers are grouped by the WSC basin system. In the Arctic Archipelago, where the majority of glaciers are unnamed, glaciers are grouped by island with the WSC basin identifier augmented by Scott Polar Research Institute catalogue numbers.[2]
Published in the Glacier Atlas of Canada, the inventory identified 575 glaciers on Bylot Island[3] and 1111 on Axel Heiberg Island.
The following is a list of notable glaciers in Canada.
