The Hitov track (English, Bulgarian Хитов рид Chitow rid ) is a narrow, rocky, 6.3 km long and up to 1400 m high ridge at the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula .

British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the Bulgarian freedom fighter Panajot Chitow (1830–1918) in connection with the town Panajot Chitowo in northeastern Bulgaria, which was also named after him .
