Nosei Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Носеи, ‘Lednik Nosei’ \'led-nik 'no-se-i\) is the steep 1.3 km long and 1 km wide glacier draining the southeast slopes of Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is situated east of upper Dalgopol Glacier, southeast of Kongur Glacier and southwest of Ritya Glacier, flows eastwards from a part of the main crest between Mezek Peak and Mount Christi, and enters the head of Pakusha Cove on Boyd Strait.

The glacier is named after the settlement of Noseite in Northern Bulgaria.
