Pleven Saddle (Plevenska Sedlovina \'ple-ven-ska se-dlo-vi-'na\) is a deep saddle of elevation 500 m in Friesland Ridge, Tangra Mountains, Livingston Island, Antarctica, bounded by MacKay Peak to the west-southwest and Tervel Peak to the east-northeast, with two conspicuous rocks rising on it. Part of the glacial divide between Peshtera Glacier to the north and Charity Glacier to the south.

The saddle was “named after the Bulgarian city of Pleven, and in connection with the freezer vessel Pleven of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas whose ships operated in the waters of South Georgia, Kerguelen, the South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula from 1970 to the early 1990s. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”[1]
