Pogledets Island (Bulgarian: остров Погледец, romanized: ostrov Pogledets, IPA: [ˈɔstrof ˈpɔɡlɛdɛt͡s]) is the northernmost of Dunbar Islands off Varna Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. The feature is ice-free, crescent shaped facing southwest, and extending 200 m in north-south direction and 170 m in east-west direction. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
The island is named after Pogledets Peak in Rila Mountain and its namesake in Stara Planina, Bulgaria.
