    Sysenvatnet is a lake in the municipality of Eidfjord in Hordaland county, Norway. The 10.24-square-kilometre lake lies at the north end of the Sysendalen valley, about 8 kilometres east of the famous Vøringfossen waterfall. The lake is dammed on the south end by a large stone embankment, and the lake is used as the main reservoir for the Sima Hydroelectric Power Station. The Sysen Dam can be easily seen from Norwegian National Road 7, which runs near the southern shore of the lake.
