The Pipkow Glacier ( Bulgarian Пипков ледник Pipkow lednik ) is a 11 km long and 3.2 km wide glacier in the north of the Alexander I Island west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south and southwest of the Lennon Glacier and west of the Osselna Glacier from the west side of the Havre Mountains in a westerly direction between Kutev Peak and Nicolai Peak in the north and Simon Peak in the south to Lasarew Bay , which it south-east of Buneva Point and north of Kamhi Point .

British scientists mapped it in 1971 and 1991. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the Bulgarian composers Panayot Pipkow (1871–1942) and Lyubomir Pipkow (1904–1974).
