The Berzdorfer See or Lake Berzdorf is located at the southern city limits of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia.

The lake forms the southeastern corner of the Lusatian Lake District. With its volume of about 330 million cubic meters and a water depth of max. 72 meters on an area of 960 hectares, it is one of the largest lakes in Saxony.
