Orizari Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Оризари, romanized: lednik Orizari, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik oriˈzari]) is the 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) long and 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) wide glacier in Veregava Ridge on the east side of Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is draining the north slopes of Mount Waldron, and flowing north-northwestwards to join Dater Glacier west of Sipey Bluff.
