Noah's sisters were Mahlah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Different Noah, who happened to be a female and was mentioned in Numbers 27.
"Then the daughters of Zelophehad came forward...The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, NOAH, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah."

Assuming that you are referring to the builder of the ark, there are no names given in the Bible for the sister's Noah.

Bill B was the first to get the correct answer! (Numbers 27:1)
There is more than one "Noah" in the Bible.
This Noah was a woman; one of the daughters of Zelophehad. Zelophehad had died, and under the law at the time, the inheritance would go to the deceased's sons.
Zelophehad, however, had no sons. He only had daughters. His property, therefore, was going to be divided among the tribe.
His daughters appealed this to Moses and the Priest, asking that they be allowed to receive their father's inheritance so that his belongings would remain in the family.
This request was granted, so these ladies are the first women recorded in the scriptures that were able to own their own property.
I often ask this question to make this point: When discussing a Bible subject (or any other subject) with someone or when comparing two verses, make sure both are talking about the same subject. Many times there is confusion because people are not speaking of the same thing, and there seems to be a contradiction.
For example, one person may be looking at verse that talks about "the baptism of John" and another the baptism "in the name of Jesus Christ". While they are similar, there are some important differences. Therefore, it would be important that both are discussing the same subject in order to avoid confusion.
Also, can you imagine the confusion if some people were discussing "the ark", and one person was thinking of Noah's ark in Genesis 6, another was thinking of the "ark" that baby Moses was placed in in Exodus 2:3, and another was thinking of "the ark of the covenant" (Exodus 25)?
So, before you argue, make sure all are speaking of the same thing!

UNKNOWN....THINK OF SOMETHING THAT MATTERS...

After becoming father to Noah, Laʹmech lived for 595 years. And he became father to sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Laʹmech amounted to 777 years, and then he died. It appears that Noah may have been the oldest of the siblings and since Laʹmech is said to have sons and daughters Noah would have had at least 2 sisters and 2 brothers
It doesn't say directly. I don't know how they counted years in those days but they were either a very long lived bunch of the bible story is full of malarkey.

The Bible does not give their names. But if Noah’s mother and brothers and sisters were still alive when the Flood began, they did not survive the Flood.

Google doesn't find any mention of sisters.
