Langisjór ({{IPA|is|ˈlauɲcɪˌsjouːr̥|audio=Langisjór pronunciation.ogg}}) is a lake in the western part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. It is around 20 km in length and up to 2 km wide, with a total surface area of about {{convert|26|km2|abbr=on}} and a depth of 75m at its deepest point.
The lake is situated rather far from civilisation at the south-western border of Vatnajökull at an altitude of 670 m above sea level. Environmental campaigners have expressed concern at government plans to site an industrial dam on the lake.
