The Burgumer Mar ({{langx|nl|Bergumermeer}}) is a lake near the town of Burgum in the Dutch province of Friesland. The lake was formed during the last ice age. It is a popular water sports area with multiple yacht harbours. The {{Ill|Princess Margriet Canal|nl|Prinses Margrietkanaal}} splits the lake into a northern and southern part.

Since March 15, 2007, the West Frisian name Burgumer Mar is the official name; before that date the Dutch name was the official one[http://www.fryslan.nl/sjablonen/1/infotype/webpage/view.asp?objectID=17084 Waternamen in Fryslân] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927204330/http://www.fryslan.nl/sjablonen/1/infotype/webpage/view.asp?objectID=17084 |date=September 27, 2007 }}). The villages Jistrum, Eastermar and Sumar together with Burgum border the lake.
