Zenker Ridge is a low moraine ridge of South Georgia which extends along the east side of Hestesletten. It runs south-west from Discovery Point at the entrance of Moraine Fjord to Osmic Hill.

The ridge was named following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1951, after one of the chemical fixatives used in the preparation of histological specimens, in association with similar names in the area, such as Osmic Hill.
