Syalyava or Selyava (; ) is a lake in Krupki District, Minsk Region, Belarus. It is located 20 km from Krupki.
== Geography == Ribbon lake Syalyava is located on a lowland, gently undulating terrain, among moraine hills with slopes of 6–8 m high, in the north descending to a height of 3–5 m. The shores of the lake are sandy, partly in the north, they gently slope towards the water (in the south, they smoothly merge into the slopes of the nearby hills); overgrown with shrubs or forest, wetlands near the inlet of watercourses (especially in the north-west). The catchment area of the lake - with an area of 324 km2 - is largely arable land, only about a quarter of it is covered with forest.
