Chavei Cove (Bulgarian: залив Чавеи, ‘Zaliv Chavei’ \'za-liv cha-'ve-i\) is the 2.2 km wide cove indenting for 900 m the southeast coast of Rozhen Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, entered east of Gela Point. It is formed as a result of the retreat of Prespa Glacier in the early 21st century.

The feature is named after the settlement of Chavei in northern Bulgaria.
