Grigorov Glacier ({{langx|bg|Григоров ледник|Grigorov lednik}}, {{IPA|bg|ɡriˈɡɔrof ˈlɛdnik|IPA}}) is a glacier 1.8 km long and 1.3 km wide on the south side of Stavertsi Ridge on Albena Peninsula, Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It drains the east slopes of Mount Cabeza and flows southeastwards to enter Hill Bay west of Kostur Point.[https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/gaz/scar/display_name.cfm?gaz_id=136993 Grigorov Glacier.] SCAR Composite Antarctic Gazetteer.

The glacier is named after the Bulgarian scientist Stamen Grigorov (1878–1945) who discovered the bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus used in the production of yoghurt.
