Siren Visual (formerly Siren Entertainment) is an Australian company which specialises in the distribution of Japanese anime, documentaries and off-beat cinema in AustraliaNew Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.

Founder and managing director Nigel Rennard started Siren in 1987 as a music distribution company, and expanded to include VHS distribution in 1994, starting with the distribution of Anime from Manga Entertainment's UK division. It then expanded to acquiring Anime like Astro Boy and Pokémon. It expanded to distribution of Arthouse, Horror and Asian Cinema. In 2001 Siren was no longer a home entertainment distributor and is now solely an acquisition company.[1][2]
