Lundevatn (or Lundevatnet[1]) is a lake on the borders between the municipalities of Lund in Rogaland county and Flekkefjord in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is the eighth deepest lake in Norway and extends 365 m below sea level. This overdeepening, as well as it's long and narrow shape are characteristics of glacially formed lakes.
