Zhenda Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Женда, romanized: lednik Zhenda, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ ˈʒɛndɐ]) is the 8 km long and 4.8 km wide glacier on the east side of the main crest of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is situated west of Sabazios Glacier and southeast of Skaklya Glacier. The glacier drains the northeast slopes of Mount Sharp and the east slopes of Mount Barden, flows northeastwards and together with Skaklya Glacier joins Sabazios Glacier west of Mount Lanning in Sostra Heights.

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