Mount Kliment Ohridski (Bulgarian: връх Климент Охридски, romanized: vrah Kliment Ohridski, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈklimɛnt ˈɔxritski]) is the highest ridge (1422m[1]) in the Sofia University Mountains on Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature extends 7 km in the northwest–southeast direction with partly ice-free southern slopes. Shaw Nunatak is located in Nichols Snowfield 4 km off the southeast extremity of Mount Kliment Ohridski.

Following field work in northern Alexander Island by a joint British-Bulgarian party during the summer of 1987–88, the peak was named for Clement of Ohrid in association with the St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia.
