Siren Lake (Bulgarian: езеро Сирена, romanized: ezero Sirena, IPA: [ˈɛzɛro siˈrɛnɐ]) is the oval-shaped 250 m long in southeast-northwest direction and 140 m wide lake near the west extremity of South Beaches on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It has a surface area of 2.7 ha and is separated from Raskuporis Cove waters by a 55 to 70 m wide strip of land. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after the Siren nymphs of Greek mythology.
