text: # List of lakes of Tamil Nadu
  
  This article lists the lakes in the South Indian state, Tamil Nadu.
  
  Note: Lakes grow and shrink due to precipitation, evaporation, releases, and diversions. For this reason, many of the surface areas tabulated below are very approximate. For reservoirs, the areas at maximum water storage are indicated. Reservoirs used for flood control are seldom allowed to reach maximum storage.
