Der Quicksilver Lake ist ein kleiner Schmelzwassersee im Zentrum von Signy Island im Archipel der Südlichen Orkneyinseln. Er liegt am Westrand des oberen Abschnitts des McLeod-Gletschers.
Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn 2025 in Anlehnung an die Benennung des benachbarten Mercury Hill. Beide Benennungen leiten sich von englischsprachigen Begriffen für Quecksilber ab, womit die sich rasch verändernden Eisbedingungen in dieser Region angesprochen werden.
