The Leekstermeer (; also known as Zulthermeer) is a lake in the Netherlands. It is the biggest lake of the province of Drenthe. The lake and its surrounding area, the Leekstermeergebied has been a designated Ramsar Wetland since 2000.
==Geography== The Leekstermeer is located in the municipality of Noordenveld along the border of the provinces of Drenthe and Groningen. Before the municipal reorganization of 1990, the provincial border ran through the north of the lake, after which it was located on the northern bank. The lake is named after the nearby Groninger village of Leek.
