Chavdar Peninsula (Bulgarian: полуостров Чавдар, romanized: poluostrov Chavdar, IPA: [poɫuˈɔstrof t͡ʃɐvˈdar]) is a 10-km wide peninsula projecting 13 km in northwest direction from Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula in Antarctica.[1] It is bounded by Curtiss Bay to the northeast, Hughes Bay to the southwest and Gerlache Strait to the northwest. Its west extremity Cape Sterneck separates Danco Coast to the southwest and Davis Coast to the northeast. The interior of the peninsula is partly occupied by the westerly portion of Kaliva Range.

The feature is named for the 16th-century Bulgarian rebel leader Chavdar Voyvoda.[1]
