Rupal Glacier or Tashain Glacier is a glacier in the Great Himalaya subrange of Himalayas in Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. It starts north of an unnamed 6,326-metre-high (20,755 ft) peak (35°8′35.93″N 74°24′52.46″E / 35.1433139°N 74.4145722°E) and flows northeastward, north of Laila Peak (Rupal Valley) and south of Nanga Parbat's many peaks. The meltwater from the glacier forms Rupal River.
