Guldfaxe (Danish: Guldfaxe Gletscher) is a glacier of the King Frederick VI Coast area in the Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.
This glacier is named after Gullfaxi, the golden-maned horse of Norse mythology.
Geography

The Guldfaxe glacier flows roughly eastward between sharp nunataks and flows into the right side of the Rimfaxe Glacier shortly before its terminus in the Sehested Fjord.
