Atansor (Kazakh: Атансор) is a salt lake in Birzhan sal District, Akmola Region, Kazakhstan.

Enbekshilder is located close to the northern lakeshore and now abolished Atansor village close to the southwestern one. The name "Atansor" was probably given because of a camel drowning in the lake in the past.
