Župica Lake (Serbian: Жупица језеро, romanizedŽupica jezero) is an artificial lake of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Unac River. The Unac River rises beneath Šator mountain, flows through the municipality of Drvar and finally meets Una River in Martin Brod. It's dammed to form small Preodačko Lake and a few kilometers downstream larger Župica Lake (a.k.a. Prekajsko Lake), before it reach town of Drvar in the municipality of Drvar.

The lake is located upstream from Drvar.[1] Župica Dam is 24.75 metres high, with a curtain length of 692 metres and a surface volume of 127,777 square metres.[2]
