Loch Leven (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Lìobhann) is a fresh water loch in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

Roughly circular, the loch has a diameter of about 16 km. The burgh of Kinross lies at its western end. Loch Leven Castle lies on an island a short way offshore. The castle was the prison of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1567, and it can be reached by ferry, operated from Kinross by Historic Scotland during the summer months.

Prior to the canalisation of the River Leven, and the partial draining of the Loch in the early 19th century, Loch Leven was of considerably larger area. The fall in water level exposed several small islands, and greatly increased the size of the existing ones.
