Løken Pond is a pond east of Burnet Cove at Maiviken, in the northern part of the Thatcher Peninsula of South Georgia.
The pond was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991 after the Reverend Kristen Løken (1885–1975), a Norwegian Lutheran minister from Lillehammer, who was the first appointed Pastor of South Georgia. He was at Grytviken whaling station, 1912–14, and supervised the building of the Grytviken Church which stands there.
