Lough Dan ( _ga. Loch Deán) is a boomerang-shaped ribbon lake near Roundwood, County Wicklow, Ireland. It is a popular area for hikers and kayakers and lies very close to the Wicklow Way.

Lough Tay feeds it via the Clohouge river from the north and it is drained to the south by the Avonmore.

Most of the lake is surrounded by private lands, though the northwest corner is part of the Wicklow National Park.

Scouting Jamboree

In 1997, Lough Dan was the site of an Irish Scouting jamboree, "Lough Dan '97", hosted by Scouting Ireland S.A.I. on their national campsite based beside the lake, and co-organised by the Federation of Irish Scouts Associations.
