Iliev Glacier (Bulgarian: Илиев ледник, romanizedIliev lednik, IPA: [iˈliɛf ˈlɛdnik]) is the 5 km long and 1.5 km wide glacier in the Lassus Mountains in the northern portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It drains the northwest slopes of Mount Wilbye, the east slopes of Vittoria Buttress and the west slopes of Galerius Peak to flow into Lazarev Bay just south of the terminus of Palestrina Glacier.

The glacier is named after the Bulgarian composer Diko Iliev (1898-1984).
