The Panicheri Gap (English; Bulgarian Паничерска седловина Panitscherska sedlowina ) is a 2100 m high, icy and flattened mountain saddle in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the north-central part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains , it connects the Bangey Heights in the north with the Maglenik Heights in the south. It forms part of the watershed between the Kopsis Glacier in the east and the Ellen Glacier in the west.
American scientists mapped it in 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2011 after the village of Panicheri in southern Bulgaria .
