Vestre Torellbreen is a glacier in Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It lies to the southwest of Wedel Jarlsberg Land, and runs southward to Isfjellbukta. There was previously a 20 km wide glacier here together with Austre Torellbreen, but after the glacier split, there are now two glaciers each of around one km wide in the area known as Torellmorenen.[1]

The glacier is named after the Swedish geologist and glaciologist Professor Otto Torell (1828-1900)[2]
