Lions have no natural predators. Lions are Apex Predators that are on the top of their food chain and have no natural predators that can kill adult lions. However young lions are vulnerable to Hyena's. Also, adult Elephants, Rhino's or Hippo's can injure or even kill lions when there is a face off but that happens very rarely.
They don't exactly have predators. Nobody really hunts them besides humans. Elephants and rhinos squash or pierce them if they get too close, but that's it.
Nile crocodiles have killed and ate lionesses in water.
