Lutvann is a lake in the recreational area Østmarka in Oslo, Norway. It covers an area of 0.39 km², at 205 m elevation.

Located just outside the capital city, it is a popular site for recreation, including swimming[1] and fishing[2] during summer, with brook trout in the lake. In the winter there are ski trails along and on the lake.[3] The lake is also used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for baptism.[4] In 2001 activists from the Youth of the Progress Party were charged for cutting down a tree in the preserved area in order to protest the fact that building in the area is prohibited.[5]
