The Haslach glaciation (German: Haslach-Kaltzeit), also Haslach Glacial Stage (Haslach-Glazial), Haslach Complex (Haslach-Komplex) or Haslach Ice Age (Haslach-Eiszeit), is a cold period of the Pleistocene epoch. It was not included in the traditional glacial schema of the Alps by Albrecht Penck and Eduard Brückner. The glacial stage was first described around 1981 by A. Schreiner and R. Ebel. Its type region is the Haslach Gravels (Haslach-Schotter) in the area of the Riß-Iller-Lech Plateau. The Haslach cold period was preceded by the Günz-Haslach interglacial and followed by the Haslach-Mindel Interglacial.
