Elektrėnai Reservoir ( _lt. Elektrėnų marios), located south of the city of Elektrėnai, Lithuania, is the third-biggest artificial lake in Lithuania. It was created in 1961 by damming the Strėva River. It supplies cooling water to the 1,800 MW Elektrėnai Power Plant. A number of villages were drowned by the reservoir; over 140 of them were relocated. The reservoir also covered eight other lakes.

The reservoir covers about 1,264 hectares, with depths of over 30 meters. [cite web|publisher=Government of Elektrenai| title=History |url=http://www.elektrenai.lt/go.php/eng/HISTORY/5703/2/326| accessdate=2008-04-24]
