The Bazaleti Lake ( _ka. ბაზალეთის ტბა) is a lake in eastern Georgia some 60km northwest of the nation's capital Tbilisi and 5km south of the town of Dusheti.

The surface area of the lake is 1.22 sq. km. and its maximum depth is 7 m. The area around the lake housed a flourishing medieval town and is surrounded by many legends. In 1626, the Battle of Bazaleti between the two rival Georgian factions took place there.

Currently, the area is a popular recreational area served by a modern tourist complex.
