Ulken Tobylzhan (Kazakh: Үлкен Тобылжан; Russian: Большой Таволжан, Bolshoy Tavolzhan) is a salt lake in Uspen District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.[1][2]

The lake lies 48 kilometers (30 mi) to the northeast of Pavlodar town and 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) south of Uspenka, the district capital.[3] There is commercial extraction of salt from Ulken Tobylzhan and Maly Tobylzhan, the two largest lakes of the group. Part of the salt is exported to the Western Siberia region.[4]
