Map of northern Sentinel Range

Sabazios Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Сабазий, romanized: lednik Sabaziy, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik sɐˈbazij]) is the 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) long and 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) wide glacier on the east side of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is situated south of Newcomer Glacier, west of Anchialus Glacier, north of Embree Glacier, and east of Zhenda Glacier and Skaklya Glacier. The glacier drains the east slopes of Mount Alf and Mount Sharp, and the north slopes of the side ridge that trends 9.15 km from Mount Dalrymple on the main crest of Sentinel Range east-northeast to Robinson Pass, flows northwards and joins Newcomer Glacier northwest of Mount Lanning in Sostra Heights.

The glacier is named after the Thracian god Sabazios.
