Valchev Cove (Bulgarian: Вълчев залив, romanizedValchev zaliv, IPA: [ˈvɤlt͡ʃev ˈzalif]) is the 180 m wide cove indenting for 220 m the northwest coast of Hurd Peninsula on Livingston Island in Antarctica. It is part of Emona Anchorage entered east of Trifonova Point, the northeast extremity of Bulgarian Beach. Formed as a result of the retreat of Perunika Glacier at the beginning of 21st century.

The feature is named after the journalist and lawyer Kiril Valchev, director general of the Bulgarian News Agency, participant in the Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions in the 2004/05 and 2019/20 seasons, for his particularly significant contribution to the promotion of Antarctica, and for his assistance in the acquisition of the polar research ship Sts. Cyril and Methodius by the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy and the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute.
