Limets Peninsula (Bulgarian: полуостров Лимец, romanizedpoluostrov Limets, IPA: [poɫuˈɔstrof liˈmɛt͡s]) is the predominantly ice-free peninsula forming the northwest extremity of Low Island in the South Shetland Islands. The feature is projecting 3.3 km northwards and 2.4 km wide. It is bounded by Kazichene Cove and Smochevo Cove to the west and Berraz Bay to the east, and ends in Cape Wallace to the north. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after the settlement of Limets in Southern Bulgaria.
