Mitev Glacier (Bulgarian: Митев ледник, romanized: Mitev lednik, IPA: [ˈmitɛf ˈlɛdnik]) is the 2.9 km (1.8 mi) long and 2.5 km (1.6 mi) wide glacier on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica situated east of Laennec Glacier. It drains the north slopes of Avroleva Heights and flows northeastwards to enter Hill Bay west of Petroff Point.
The glacier is named after the Bulgarian scientist Ivan Mitev (1924–2006) who discovered the sixth heart tone.
