This page lists the world's deepest بحيرةs.
البحيرات مرتبة حسب العمق الأقصى
Currently, this list contains all lakes whose maximum depth is reliably known to exceed 400m.
Geologically, the بحر قزوين, like the Black, and Mediterranean seas, is a remnant of the ancient بانثالاسا. The deepest area is oceanic rather than continental crust. However, it is generally regarded by geographers as a large حوض مغلق بحيرة مالحة.

Mean depth can be a more useful indicator than maximum depth for many ecological purposes. Unfortunately, accurate mean depth figures are only available for well-studied lakes, as they must be calculated by dividing the lake's volume by its surface area. A reliable volume figure requires a قياس الأعماق survey. Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations.
The بحر قزوين ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large منحدر قاري (is significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).

ملاحظات
- Lake Baikal is also the largest ماء عذب lake by volume.
- The بحر قزوين is generally regarded by geographers, biologists and علم المسطحات المائية الداخليةs as a huge inland بحيرة مالحة. However, the Caspian's large size means that for some purposes it is better modeled as a sea. Geologically, the Caspian, Black, and Mediterranean seas are remnants of the ancient بانثالاسا. Politically, the distinction between a sea and a lake may affect how the Caspian is treated by international law.
- بحيرة فوستوك in القارة القطبية الجنوبية is a subglacial lake with a depth ranging from 400 to more than 900 meters.

- بحيرة كريتر in Oregon has a maximum depth of 594m, based on its USGS benchmark surface elevation of 1883m. The US National Park Service publishes different values (1881m for surface elevation, and 592m for the maximum depth). The technical basis of the values determined by the USGS is documented in Bacon, et al. (2002) Morphology, volcanism, and mass wasting in Crater Lake, Oregon. GSA Bulletin 114:675-692.
