Karnare Col (Bulgarian: седловина Кърнаре, ‘Sedlovina Karnare’ \se-dlo-vi-'na k&r-'na-re\) is the narrow rocky col of elevation 2,100 m (6,900 ft) between the southeast slopes of Mount Craddock and the northeast ridge of Mount Strybing, linking Craddock Massif to Owen Ridge in southern Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. It extends 1.7 km (1.1 mi) from east to west, with a depression in its eastern part. It is part of the glacial divide between Nimitz Glacier and Rutford Ice Stream, overlooking Severinghaus Glacier to the southwest and Saltzman Glacier to the northeast.

The col is named after the settlement of Karnare in Southern Bulgaria.
