Aluzore Gap (Bulgarian : седловина Алузоре, romanized: Sedlovina Aluzore \se-dlo-vi-'na a-lu-'zo-re\) is the ice-covered saddle of elevation 1078 m [1] connecting Stribog Mountains to Solvay Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It extends 3 km in north-northwest to south-southeast direction, and is part of the glacial divide between Hippocrates Glacier to the east, and Zlatiya Glacier and Rush Glacier to the west and southwest respectively.

The saddle is named after the ancient Roman station of Aluzore in Southern Bulgaria.
