Sognsvann (or Sognsvannet[1]) is a lake just north of Oslo, Norway.

Lying in the greenbelt around Oslo, the lake is a popular camping, picnicking and bathing destination for the residents of Oslo during the summer, as well as a cross-country skiing, skating and ice fishing destination in the winter. The trail around it is a destination for cycling, jogging or rollerblading for the snowless months of the year.

Part of the lakes popularity stems from its easy access from Oslo; Sognsvann station, located on the south end of the lake, is the final stop on line 3 on the Oslo T-bane.
