Ritya Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Ритя, romanizedlednik Ritya, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik ˈritʲɐ]) is the steep 1.8 km long and 1.4 km wide glacier draining the southeast slopes of Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is situated northeast of Nosei Glacier, southeast of Kongur Glacier and south of Saparevo Glacier, flows southeastwards from Mount Christi and enters the head of Linevo Cove on Boyd Strait.

The glacier is named after the settlement of Ritya in Northern Bulgaria.
