Lake Dubrava (Croatian: Dubravsko jezero) is an artificial lake on the Drava River. It was built for the purposes of the Dubrava Hydroelectric Power Plant (Croatian: Hidroelektrana Dubrava, HE Dubrava) and completed in the late 1980s. It is the biggest artificial lake in Croatia, with an area of 17.1 square kilometers (6.6 square miles).

Lake Dubrava is located very close to the city of Prelog, although the power plant and the lake itself are named after the village of Donja Dubrava, which is the closest village to the place where the lake's artificial outflow canal meets the natural flow of the Drava River.

Near Prelog and the place where the Drava River flows into the lake, there is also a camping site, a marina, and a small airfield used by powered hang gliders. The lake is also a popular fishing destination.
