Bear Glacier Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. The park is 542 ha (1,340 acres) in size and was established, effective 11 May 2000, by the Nisga'a Treaty, Appendix G-3.

The toe of Bear Glacier is visible from British Columbia Highway 37A roughly halfway between the Meziadin Junction and Stewart.[1]

The glacier was part of the closing scene in the film "Insomnia" with Al Pacino.[2]
