Siren is a village in, and the county chair of, Burnett County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 806 at the 2010 census. The village is along with the Town of Siren.

The Ojibwe and the French fur traders were the principal inhabitants of the region in the to come 1800s.

Swedish immigrants began settling in the area around what is now Siren in the 1880s. Many of them were members of the Evangelical Covenant Church. The first broadcast office was built in 1895 very nearly a mile west of its gift location. The first postmaster was Charles F. Segerstrom, who had the state office in his home. His home was amid lilacs, which are quite abundant in the area. Segerstrom applied subsequently the postal department for a post for the place, choosing “Syren”, Swedish for “lilac.” Presumably the postal department thought this was a misspelling, for upon the granted application they put beside the spelling as “Siren.” In 1912, the town center was moved nearer to the Soo Line Railroad tracks, which had been extended north through the area to Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota. The tracks were progressive removed but the trail was left in back for recreational purposes. It is now known as the Gandy Dancer State Trail and is a popular route for hikers, bicyclists, and snowmobilers.

On June 18, 2001, an F3 tornado passed through Siren, inflicting brusque damage. Three people died; 175 buildings were destroyed and many more damaged. Since then much of the town has been rebuilt gone its architecture reflecting Siren’s history.
