Urvich Wall (, ‘Urvichka Stena’ 'ur-vich-ka ste-'na) is the narrow ice-free and crescent-shaped ridge rising to 121 m on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and bounded by Nedelya Point to the north and Rish Point to the southeast. The ridge is 6.7 km long and up to 400 m wide, and separates Byers Peninsula to the west from Rotch Dome to the east. It surmounts Oread Lake, Montemno Lake and Bedek Stream on the west. The feature's northern part lies in the Antarctic Specially Protected Area ASPA 126 Byers Peninsula, more specifically in one of its two restricted zones. The ridge is named after the medieval fortress of Urvich in Plana Mountain, Bulgaria.
