The Hohnsensee is a lake in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, Germany, covering 9.3 hectares.

It is located south of Neustadt between the street Hohnsen, the Innerste, the outdoor pool Johanniswiese and the washland of the Innerste. It was created by gravel mining from 1966 to 1974 and is named after the abandoned village Hohnsen.
