Degnepollvatnet or Deknepollvatnet, known locally as Polljavatnet, is a lake in the municipality of Vågsøy in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The lake is situated between the small villages of Degnepoll and Tennebø, just 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from the town of Måløy.

Degnepollvatnet is a popular spot for fishing and swimming during the summer. During the winter, the lake is widely used for ice skating, but the most recent winters have not provided adequate cold weather for it to freeze. The lake was previously used as a source of drinking water.^[1]
