Markkleeberger See is an artificial lake in Saxony, Germany, next to Markkleeberg, a suburb on the south side of Leipzig. At an elevation of 112.5 m, its surface area is 2.52 km². It is a former open-pit coal mine, flooded in 1999 with groundwater and developed in 2006 as a tourist area. On its southeastern shore is Germany's only pump-powered artificial whitewater slalom course, the Kanupark Markkleeberg. The lake is a part of the Central German Lake District.

Since its completion in 2009, it is possible to walk around the lake at various heights on an extensive network of paths - close to the water on the Unterer Uferweg (bank path) and above on the Uferrundweg (panoramic loop trail, length 9.2 km (5.7 mi)) and its numerous scenically attractive side paths. The 160 km (99 mi) long cycle path from Wittenberg to Markkleeberg under the name Kohle-Dampf-Licht-Seen (coal-steam-light-lakes) leads along the lake.^[1]
