The Madan Saddle (English; Bulgarian Маданска седловина Madanska sedlowina ) is a 1110  m high mountain saddle on Smith Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Imeon Range, it lies between Neofit Peak in the northeast and Riggs Peak in the south-southwest. The Gramada Glacier is southeast of it. To the northwest, it leads to the stretch of coast between Lista Point and Lakatnik Point .

Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in the same year after the city of Madan in southern Bulgaria .
