Båven (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈbǒːvɛn]) is a lake in the municipalities Flens, Gnesta, and Nyköping in Södermanland, Sweden. The lake is characterized by branches and many islands, with over 500 km of shoreline. Around Båven there are a number of estates and manors, including Sparreholm, Vibyholm and Rockelstad.[1][2][3]

The lake has relatively clean water and a rich bird life with many bird protection areas. The lake is one of the few lakes or waterways in Sweden with the presence of wels catfish.[4]
