The Sinanishko Lake () is a glacial lake in the Pirin mountain range, southwestern Bulgaria, situated about 700&nbsp;m to the north–northeast of the summit of Sinanitsa (2,516&nbsp;m) in the small Sinanitsa cirque at an altitude of 2,181&nbsp;m. Reaching depth of 11.5&nbsp;m, it is among the ten deepest lakes in the mountain range. It has an elongated shape with maximum length of 175&nbsp;m and a width of 80&nbsp;m. The surface area is 10,100&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup>. Its waters pour out under the ground and they appear on the surface 120&nbsp;m away from the lake and form the beginning of the river Sinanishka, a left tributary of the Vlahina reka of the Struma river basin. Close to its northern shores is located the Sinanitsa refuge.
