Jølstravatn (or "Jølstravatnet" [The suffix "-et" is a form of the Norwegian language definite article and means "the". Hence "Jølstravatnet" is equivalent to "the Jølstravatn." Both forms can be found in English language text.] ) is a lake in Jølster municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It releases its water by almost 20 km long Jølstra river into Førdefjorden, a typical Fjord. The impressive eastern part of Jølstravatn is called "Kjøsnesfjorden", though it is no part of the sea.
