Almsee is a lake in Upper Austria in the Almtal valley, south of the town of Grünau im Almtal. The lake lies in the northern portion of the Totes Gebirge mountains and is about 2.3 km by 700 m wide.

The lake drains through Alm. Since 1965, the area around the Almsee is under nature conservation. Konrad Lorenz made important observations of the Greylag Goose on the lake.
