Naiad Lake (Bulgarian: езеро Наяда, romanized: ezero Nayada, IPA: [ˈɛzɛro nɐˈjadɐ]) is a lake on President Beaches, Byers Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The lake is roughly rectangular in shape; it is 230 m-long (250 yd) and 150 m-wide (160 yd), oriented in a south-north direction. 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.
