Bashliyski Lakes (Bulgarian: Башлийски езера) are a small group of four glacial lakes situated in the northern part of the Pirin mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria. They are located in the Bashliyski cirque between the summits of Bashliyski Chukar (2,683 m), Banderishki Chukar (2,737 m), Prevalski Chukar (2,605 m) and Tipitsite (2,645 m). They are located in the Pirin National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lakes are poorly researched. Their depth is not accurately measured and is estimated at 2–3 m. They are the source of the river Bashliytsa, the uppermost tributary of the Sandanska Bistritsa of the Struma river basin.
