Rezovski Creek (Bulgarian: Резовски поток \'re-zov-ski po-'tok\) is a meltwater stream located on Livingston Island, Antarctica.
The 500-metre-long (1,600 ft) stream drains that portion of the northwestern slope of the Balkan Snowfield between Hesperides Hill, Atlantic Club Ridge, Krum Rock and Sinemorets Hill on Hurd Peninsula in eastern Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands in Antarctica. The arms of Rezovski Creek encompass the old buildings of the Bulgarian Base. Its lower course forms Grand Lagoon, and it has its mouth at the southwest extremity of Bulgarian Beach, which is used as an embarkation place servicing St. Kliment Ohridski Base.
A name of national geography, Rezovska is a river in southeastern Bulgaria. The name was established in use at the time of approval.
