Zyuratkul (Russian: Зюраткуль; Bashkir: Йөрәккүл) is a freshwater lake in Satkinsky District, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia.
The name "Zyuratkul" comes from the Bashkir "yöräk/kul" (йөрәк/күл), meaning "heart/lake".
In 1993 the Zyuratkul National Park, a protected area, was established in the lake and its surroundings.
