Lisbetbreen (Lisbet Glacier) is a tributary glacier on the northwestern side of Universitetsbreen, on the divide between Andrée Land and James I Land in Spitsbergen, Svalbard in Arctic Norway. It is approx. 15 km long Z-shaped flowing in an easterly direction from Millarpasset in the northwest, turning southeast along Spissfjellet and finally east again at the concourse with Universitetsbreen into Vestfjorddalen.[1]
Named after Elisabeth Cathrine Høeg, née Blom (1898–1927), wife of Ove Arbo Høeg, Norwegian botanist and palaeontologist, curator of the Museum of Trondheim, member of the Norwegian Svalbard Expedition 1924.
