thumb|Lutakko neighbourhood on the shores of Jyväsjärvi. Lake Jyväsjärvi () is a lake situated in the centre of Jyväskylä in Finland. The lake is sometimes seen as a part of the Päijänne, as both lakes are on the same level ( from sea level) and are connected by the Äijälänsalmi strait.
Parts of Jyväsjärvi have been filled many times to gain more land for the growing city of Jyväskylä. Mattilanniemi and Ylistö, two campuses of the University of Jyväskylä, are situated on the western shores of the lake. Two bridges cross the lake, connecting Ylistönrinne and Kuokkala to the city centre. The harbour of Jyväskylä is located in Lutakko, near the Kuokkala bridge.
