Lake Sils (German "Silsersee", Romansh: "Lej da Segl") is a lake in the Upper Engadine valley, Grisons, Switzerland. It takes its name from the village of Sils im Engadin.

The wooded Chasté peninsula extends into the lake at its north-eastern end. At the end of the peninsula there is a plaque to Friedrich Nietzsche with a passage from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
