Kundol Lake (Urdu: کنڈول جھیل), also known as Kundol Dand and Kundal, is a lake in the Swat Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is located in the north of the Utror Valley. It is 19 kilometres (12 mi) away from the Kalam Valley.

A popular folktale surrounds the lake, claiming that every month, a golden bowl materializes at its center, shimmering like the moon. Yet, its enchanted nature has prevented anyone from laying hands upon it. The vicinity of Kundol Lake boasts numerous stunning attractions, including the Spinkhor Waterfall, Loypanghalay Lake, Desan Meadows, Katora Lake, Jaaz Banda, and Gabeen Lake.
