Naiad Lake (Bulgarian: езеро Наяда, romanized: ezero Nayada, IPA: [ˈɛzɛro nɐˈjadɐ]) is the roughly rectangular 230 m-long (250 yd) in south-north direction and 150 m-wide (160 yd) lake on President Beaches, Byers Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It has a surface area of 2.98 ha (7.4 acres), and is separated from Osogovo Bay waters by a 12-to-90 m-wide (10-to-100 yd) strip of land. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after the Naiads, nymphs of springs, streams, rivers, and lakes in Greek mythology.
