Lake Voulismeni or Limni Voulismeni (Greek: Λίμνη Βουλισμένη) is a small lake located at the centre of the town of Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece. The locals refer to it as just "the lake". The lake connects to the harbour of the town by a channel dug in 1870.

According to legend, the goddess Athena bathed in it.

Every year on orthodox christian easter day 00:00am, the majority of the population of the town, gather around the lake to celebrate with fireworks, and firecrackers thrown by the people attending that highlight event.

Local Urban legend has it that that lake is bottomless. Based primarily on locals noticing disturbances at the surface of the water during the Santorini(Thera) earthquake of 1956, many assume a possible geological relation of the two locations, but no serious scientific surveys are yet known.
