The Lossivatnet (also Losivatn ) is a lake in the municipality of Narvik in Nordland in Norway .
The lake covers an area of 6.64 km² and its natural runoff leads over the Elvegårdselva (Skjoma) into the Skjomen, part of the Ofotfjord . It belongs to the Elvegårdselva (Skjoma) catchment area with the number 738 (number in the Vassdragsregister (Norwegian directory of watercourses)). Its two main tributaries come from the Nihkevági and Rienatvági valleys. There are some unnamed glaciers and ice fields in Rienatvági.
The formerly natural lake is now used as a reservoir, whereby no dam was built, but only the lake was tapped. The lake can be lowered from the original altitude of 735 to 701 meters above sea level. A large part of its water now flows via the Kobbvatn and Iptovatn to the Skjomen kraftstasjon hydroelectric power station.
