Lake Bant, or Banter See in German, is an artificial lake in the North Sea port city of Wilhelmshaven in north-west Germany. It is about {{convert|2.6|km}} long and {{convert|0.5|km}} wide. It was originally part of the harbour complex created by enclosing part of Jade Bight bordering the city's waterfront for military and industrial use. It used to contain naval facilities, including a submarine base. Now separated from the port, it is used mainly for recreation and research. It is surrounded by parkland, recreational facilities, up-market housing, research institutes and company offices.{{cite web |url=http://www.jwplz.de/cms_gvz/upload/Download/Standortfibel_en_mail.pdf |title=Wilhelmshaven at a Glance |accessdate=2012-09-19 |first=Hans-Joachim |last=Gottschalk |publisher=Club zu Wilhelmshaven |year=2010 }}{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
