Sopot Ice Piedmont (Bulgarian: ледник Сопот, romanized: lednik Sopot, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik ˈsɔpot]) is an ice piedmont situated on Burgas Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, northeast of Iskar Glacier and north of Ropotamo, Strandzha and Pautalia Glaciers. It extends 7.5 km in east–west direction and 2.4 km in south–north direction, drains the northern slopes of Delchev Ridge east of Delchev Peak and Ghiaurov Peak, and flows northward into Moon Bay between Rila Point to the west and Malyovitsa Crag near Renier Point to the east.

The glacier is named after the Bulgarian town of Sopot.
