Tsarevets Buttress (Bulgarian: рид Царевец, ‘Rid Tsarevets’ \'rid tsa-'re-vets\) is the rounded ice-covered buttress extending 7 km (4.3 mi) in north-south direction and 7 km (4.3 mi) in east-west direction, rising to 1868 m[1] on Trinity Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is situated on the northwest side of Detroit Plateau, and is connected to Korten Ridge on the west-northwest by Podvis Col. The feature has steep and partly ice-free southwest, north and east slopes, surmounting Temple Glacier to the southwest, Sabine Glacier to the northwest and Whitecloud Glacier to the north-northeast and east.

The buttress is named after Tsarevets Hill in the city of Veliko Tarnovo, the seat of the Bulgarian royal court in the 12th–14th centuries.
