Location of Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Dodunekov Bluff (Bulgarian: Додунеков рид, romanizedDodunekov rid, IPA: [doˈdunɛkov ˈrid]) is the ice-covered bluff rising to 1382 m[1] in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Caulfield Glacier to the north and Rickmers Glacier to the south.

The peak is named after Stefan Dodunekov (1945-2012), for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic topographic surveys and mapping.
