Vladigerov Passage ({{langx|bg|Владигеров проток}}, ‘Vladigerov Protok’ \vla-di-'ge-rov 'pro-tok\) is a passage in the Biscoe Islands, Antarctica between Lavoisier Island on the east and Krogh Island on the west. It is 5.8 km long in the southwest-northeast direction and 1.05 km wide. The eponymous Vladigerov Island, 420 m long in southwest-northeast direction and 150 m wide, is lying in the narrowest part of the passage centred at {{coord|66|17|17|S|66|54|35|W|}}, formed as a result of the retreat of the ice cap of Lavoisier Island in the early 21st century.

The passage is named after the Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov (1899-1978).
