Siletiteniz (Kazakh: Сілетітеңіз, Sıletıteñız), also Seletyteniz, Seletytengiz is an endorheic salt lake located in the Ishim Plain, part of the West Siberian Plain. The lake lies in North Kazakhstan, with the Pavlodar Region border running along the eastern lakeshore and the Kazakhstan-Russia border 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) to the north of the northeastern end.
Teniz is Kazakh for "sea", while the etymology of Selety is less clear. One hypothesis is that it derives from Yeniseian *sēre, "stag."
