Ranuli Ice Piedmont (Bulgarian: ледник Ранули, ‘Lednik Ranuli’ \'led-nik ra-'nu-li\) is the glacier extending 13.5 km in south-southeast to north-northwest direction and 5.1 km in west-southwest to east-northeast direction on the east side of Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is draining the east slopes of Barnes Ridge to flow into Rutford Ice Stream to the east-northeast, Young Glacier to the north, and Ellen Glacier to the south.

The feature is named after the ancient town of Ranuli in southeastern Bulgaria.
