Mývatn is a shallow eutrophic lake in an area of active volcanism in northern Iceland, not far from Krafla volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have a vibrant fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents (pseudocraters). The effluent river Laxá is known for its rich fishing for Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon.

The name of the lake (Icelandic mý (“midge”) and vatn (“lake”); the lake of midges) comes from the enormous numbers of midges to be found there in the summer.

The name Mývatn is sometimes used not only for the lake but also for the whole surrounding inhabited area. The River Laxá, Lake Mývatn, and the surrounding wetlands are protected as a nature reserve (the Mývatn-Laxá Nature Conservation Area).
