Bravo Glacier is a glacier on Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 2.1 km in northwest-southeast direction and 2.3 km in southwest-northeast direction and draining the south slopes of Dryanovo Heights to flow southeastwards into Shopski Cove.
The feature was probably named after an officer in the Chilean ship Lientur that took part in the 1952-53 Chilean survey of Yankee Harbour.
