Pautalia Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Пауталия, romanizedlednik Pautaliya, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik pɐoˈtalijɐ]) is a small glacier on Burgas Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated northeast of Strandzha Glacier and south of Sopot Ice Piedmont. It is bounded by Petko Voyvoda Peak to the west, Sozopol Gap to the northwest, Kaloyan Nunatak to the north and Shabla Knoll to the east. The glacier extends 700 m in northwest-southeast direction and 1.1 km in southwest-northeast direction, and flows southeastward into Bransfield Strait.

The feature is named after the ancient Pautalia, ancestor of the present town of Kyustendil in Western Bulgaria.
