Pipkov Glacier (Bulgarian: Пипков ледник, romanized: Pipkov lednik, IPA: [ˈpipkof ˈlɛdnik]) is the 11 km long in east-northeast to west-southwest direction and 3.2 km wide glacier on the west side of Havre Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The glacier is situated south and southwest of Lennon Glacier, and north of Oselna Glacier. It flows westwards between Kutev Peak and Nicolai Peak on the north, and Simon Peak on the south, and enters Lazarev Bay southeast of Buneva Point and north of Kamhi Point.

The feature is named after the Bulgarian composers Panayot Pipkov (1871-1942) and his son Lyubomir Pipkov (1904-1974).
