The Vitosha Saddle (English; Bulgarian Витошка седловина Witoscha sedlowina ) is an icy and about 1050 m high mountain saddle with a southwest-northeast orientation on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In the Levski Ridge of the Tangra Mountains, it lies between the Great Needle Peak in the southwest and Vihren Peak in the northeast. It is part of the watershed between the Huron Glacier in the north and the Magura Glacier in the south. Its center is 1 km northeast to east of the Great Needle Peak.
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2004 after the Vitosha Mountains in central Bulgaria.
