Zlatiya Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Златия, romanized: lednik Zlatiya, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ zɫɐˈtijɐ]) is the 6.7 km long and 3 km wide glacier on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica situated north of Rush Glacier and west of upper Hippocrates Glacier. It drains west-southwestwards from Aluzore Gap, flows between Mount Sarnegor and Veles Bastion, and enters Dallmann Bay north of Sidell Spur and south of Fleming Point.
