Vladigerov Passage (Template:Lang-bg, ‘Vladigerov Protok’ \vla-di-'ge-rov 'pro-tok\) is a passage in the Biscoe Islands, Antarctica between Lavoisier Island on the east and Krogh Island on the west. It is 5.8 km long in the southwest-northeast direction and 1.05 km wide. The eponymous Vladigerov Island, 420 m long in southwest-northeast direction and 150 m wide, is lying in the narrowest part of the passage centred at 66°17′17″S 66°54′35″W / 66.28806°S 66.90972°W / -66.28806; -66.90972, formed as a result of the retreat of the ice cap of Lavoisier Island in the early 21st century.

The passage is named after the Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov (1899-1978).
