Dâmbovița Lake ("Lacul Dâmbovița") is a lake situated on Dâmbovița River in Bucharest and Chiajna, west of Morii Lake and bordering that lake.[1] It has an area of 55 ha (140 acres).[1] The lake is 3 km (1.9 mi) from the center of Bucharest (University Square) and is located between Morii Lake to the east, Giulești district to the north, Chiajna commune and to the south.

A projected underground highway entails a tunnel which will link Morii Lake, Dâmbovița Lake, and Chiajna to Centrul Civic, Unirii Square, and the A1 motorway.[2]
