Ropotamo Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Ропотамо, romanized: lednik Ropotamo, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik ropoˈtamo]) is a glacier extending 900 m (3,000 ft) from northeast to southwest and 600 m (2,000 ft) from northwest to southeast on the Burgas Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The glacier is northeast of Dobrudzha Glacier, east-southeast of Iskar Glacier, south of Sopot Ice Piedmont and southwest of Strandzha Glacier. It is bounded by Asen Peak and Delchev Peak to the northwest and north, and flows southeastwards mostly into Yantra Cove, Bransfield Strait.
The feature is named after the river Ropotamo in Bulgaria.
