Burevestnik Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Буревестник, romanizedlednik Burevestnik, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ borɛˈvɛstnik]) is the 4.2 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on Pasteur Peninsula, Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, situated east of Podayva Glacier and north of Lister Glacier. It drains the north slopes of Stribog Mountains, flows northeastwards and enters the sea east of Marinka Point and northwest of Levenov Point.

The glacier is named after the Bulgarian ocean fishing trawler Burevestnik of the company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas, which operated under Captain Nikola Levenov in Antarctic waters off Kerguelen Islands from December 1974 to February 1975.
