Skaklya Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Скакля, romanizedlednik Skaklya) is the 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) long and 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) wide glacier on the east side of the main crest of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is situated northwest of Zhenda Glacier and southeast of the head of Vidul Glacier. The glacier drains the south slopes of Mount Reimer and the north slopes of Blenika Peak, flows east-northeastwards and together with Zhenda Glacier joins Sabazios Glacier west of Mount Lanning in Sostra Heights.

The glacier is named after Skaklya Waterfall in Western Bulgaria.
