Radoinje Lake (Serbian: Радоињско језеро) is an artificial lake in southwestern Serbia, located within the Uvac Special Nature Reserve. It was created by erecting a dam 43km from the confluence of the Uvac and Lim rivers. The dam was built at 760m above sea level, 40m high and 150m long. The length of the lake is 11km, with maximum depth of water 30m, with a capacity of 4 million cubic metres. It receives its water through the bottom of the Zlatar Lake, additionally passing through the Kokin Brod hydroelectric power plant. The lake functions as a water reservoir for the Bistrica hydroelectric power plant on the right bank of Potpeć Lake of the Lim river. It is the third of the three lakes of the Uvac Reserve, the other being Uvac Lake and Zlatar Lake. The lake has tourism potential.
