Basarbovo Ridge (English; Bulgarian Басарбовски рид Bassarbowski rid ) is an icy, 10.4 km long and up to 1400 m high mountain ridge on the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It extends from the Taran Plateau in the northwest to Bov Point in the southeast. Its steep south-west slopes are partly not icy. The Malpighi Glacier is southwest and the Swetowratschene Glacier is northeast of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the village of Bassarbowo in northeastern Bulgaria .
