Palilula Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Палилула, romanizedlednik Palilula, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik pɐˈliɫoɫɐ]) is the 4 km long and 1.1 km wide steep valley glacier on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, situated south of Ralitsa Glacier, southwest of Paré Glacier and northwest of Gorichane Glacier. It drains the southwest slopes of Mount Rokitansky in Stribog Mountains, and flows south-southwestwards into Lanusse Bay east of Driencourt Point and northwest of Baykal Point.

The glacier is named after the settlement of Palilula in Northwestern Bulgaria.
