Vidul Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Видул, romanized: lednik Vidul, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ ˈvidoɫ]) is the 7.5 km long and 1.4 km wide glacier on the east side of the main crest of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is situated northwest of Skaklya Glacier and southwest of the middle course of Newcomer Glacier. The glacier drains the north slopes of Mount Reimer and the east slopes of Mount Dawson, flows northwards and joins Newcomer Glacier west of Mount Warren in Gromshin Heights.
The glacier is named after the Bulgarian rebel leader Vidul Voyvoda (Vidul Vidulov, 1777-1833).
