The Nikolov Cove (English; Bulgarian Николов залив Nikolow saliw ) is a 0.95 km wide and 0.5 km long bay on the southeast coast of Smith Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located between Velikan Point in the southwest and Razdel Point in the northeast.
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after Todor Nikolow, a supporter of the first Bulgarian Antarctic expedition (1987–1988).
