Chernomen Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Черномен, romanizedlednik Chernomen, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik t͡ʃɛrnoˈmɛn]) is the 3 nmi (6 km; 3 mi) long and 1.2 nmi (2 km; 1 mi) wide glacier on Barison Peninsula, Graham Coast on the west side of Antarctic Peninsula, situated south-southwest of Butamya Glacier and west-southwest of Talev Glacier. It drains northwestwards, and flows into Leroux Bay southeast of Eijkman Point.

The glacier is named after the settlement of Chernomen in medieval Southern Bulgaria.
