Patleyna Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Патлейна, romanized: lednik Patleyna, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik patˈlɛjnɐ]) is the 3.4 nautical miles (6.3 km; 3.9 mi) long and 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) wide glacier on the east side of north-central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, situated north of the upper course of Ellen Glacier. It is draining the east slopes of Mount Todd and the north slopes of Chepino Saddle, and flowing north-northwestwards to join Embree Glacier southeast of Mount Goldthwait and west of Oreshak Peak.
The glacier is named after the nature reserve of Patleyna in Northeastern Bulgaria.
