Snegotin Ridge (Bulgarian: Снеготински рид, ‘Snegotinski Rid’ \'sne-go-tin-ski 'rid\) is the ice-covered ridge rising to 1230 m^[1] in its eastern part on the northwest side of Louis-Philippe Plateau on Trinity Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is overlooking Bransfield Strait to the north, and Prelez Gap and the head of Malorad Glacier to the west-soothwest. Snegotin Ridge is extending 6.5 km in southwest-northeast direction, 4 km wide, and linked to the south to Louis-Philippe Plateau by Huhla Col.

The ridge is named after the settlement of Snegotin in Southern Bulgaria.
