The Bach Ice Shelf (72°S 72°W / 72°S 72°W / -72; -72) is an ice shelf which is irregular in shape and 45 miles (72 km) in extent, occupying an embayment in the south part of Alexander Island entered between Berlioz Point and Rossini Point.

Bach ice shelf also supports the north side of the Monteverdi Peninsula.

A minor embayment in this position first appeared on the charts of the US Antarctic Service, which explored the south part of Alexander Island by air and from the ground in 1940.
