The Jamen Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Ямен lednik Jamen ) is a 10 km long and 4 km wide glacier in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . On the east side of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows northeast of the Witscha Glacier in the Gromshin Heights from the northern slopes of Branishte Peak in a north-easterly direction and flows into the Rutford Ice Current .

American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the town of Jamen in western Bulgaria .
