Strupbreen is a glacier located in Lyngen Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The glacier is located in the Lyngen Alps, about north of the village of Lyngseidet. Historically, the glacier has at times reached all the way down to the Lyngenfjorden. Today the end of the glacier lies about from the shoreline, with a small stream of water flowing from the glacier to the fjord.
The glacier, at about its Little Ice Age maximum extent shed ice blocks onto the shoreline below. This formed a cone of ice separated from the main glacier snout. This cone was used as an ice supply for fishing vessels.
