The Lac de Saint-Cassien ({{IPA|fr|lak də sɛ̃kasjɛ̃}}; Lake of Saint-Cassien) is a reservoir in the Var department, Southern France, not far from the border with Alpes-Maritimes. It is bordered by Montauroux, Tanneron and Les Adrets-de-l'Estérel. At an elevation of 147 m (482 ft), its surface area is 4.2 km2 (1.6 sq mi).[https://www.cc-paysdefayence.fr/amenagement-du-territoire/lac-de-saint-cassien/ Lac de Saint-Cassien], www.cc-paysdefayence.fr {{in lang|fr}}.
The EDF Barrage de Saint-Cassien (Saint-Cassien Dam), northeast of the lake in the commune of Tanneron, was put into service in 1966. Both the dam and reservoir were named after John Cassian (Jean Cassien), a Christian saint who founded the Abbey of St Victor in Marseille.
