Chortarolimni (Greek: Χορταρόλιμνη meaning "weed lake") is a lagoon located in the East of the island Lemnos, Greece. Nearby villages includes Kalliopi to the north, Roussopouli to the southwest and to the west. The area is 2.30 km². The lagoon is dry during the summer months.
The lake was once known as Mylou Lake (1738 Pococke) and Komi Lake (1858 Conze). Together with near Kontopouli and a third small lake Asprolimni, it forms a great ecosystem, where many migrating birds spend the winter.
