Venchan Bluff (Bulgarian: рид Венчан, romanized: rid Venchan, IPA: [ˈrid vɛnˈt͡ʃan]) is the mostly ice-covered bluff rising to 1283 m[1] at the end of a side ridge extending towards Lanusse Bay from Mount Parry in Stribog Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest, northwest and northeast slopes, and surmounts Djerassi Glacier to the north.

Venchan Bluff was first ascended by the French mountaineers Mathieu Cortial, Lionel Daudet and Patrick Wagnon on 21 January 2010, as a part of their route to the island's summit Mount Parry following its northwestern spur and called Nouvelle vague (New Wave). [2][3]

The peak is named after the settlement of Venchan in Northeastern Bulgaria.
