Røssvatnet (Sami: Reevhtse) is a lake and reservoir in Norway in the county of Nordland, and has been the site of human occupation since the Stone Age. Its area of 219 km² makes it the second largest lake in Norway by surface area. Without the dam which has regulated the lake since 1957, it would be 190 km², or third. Its depth is 240 meters, its volume is estimated at about 15 km³ and its surface is 374 meters above sea level.
The lake is bordered by the municipalities of Hattfjelldal and Hemnes.
