Łuknajno [wukˈnajnɔ] is a lake in the Masurian Lake District of north-eastern Poland, in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the town of Mikołajki, close to the north-western corner of Śniardwy, Poland's largest lake. Łuknajno covers an area of 6.8 square kilometres (2.6 sq mi), and has a maximum depth of 3 metres (9.8 ft).
The lake is the site of a nature reserve, and since 1977 has been designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Ramsar site, in view of its importance as a breeding ground for water birds. It is part of the larger protected area known as Masurian Landscape Park.
