The Mühlsee, or Lake Mills, is a lake in Tyrol. It had an in- and outflow but it was buried in 2005. The lake is missing fresh water nowadays.

The lake is mainly used for fish breeding; bathing is prohibited due to the small size. Sometimes the lake is plagued by algae. The lake can be reached by Streetcar Line 6 from Innsbruck or on foot from Lans.

There is high reed in the vicinity of the shore often hiding fen puddles which acts like quicksand.
