Ralitsa Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Ралица, romanized: lednik Ralitsa, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik ˈralit͡sɐ]) is the 5.5 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, situated south of Oshane Glacier, southwest of Lister Glacier, northwest of the head of Paré Glacier and north of Palilula Glacier. It drains the northwest slopes of Mount Rokitansky in Stribog Mountains, and flows northwestwards into Guyou Bay.
The glacier is named after the settlements of Ralitsa in Northeastern and Southern Bulgaria.
