Løken Pond (54°14′S 36°30′W) is a pond east of Burnet Cove, Maiviken, in northern Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. It 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 church there.
