Svartediket is a lake in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It lies about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of the centre of the city of Bergen. The 0.5-square-kilometre (0.19 sq mi) lake lies immediately north of the mountain Ulriken, northeast of the Store Lungegårdsvannet bay. Historically, this lake was called Ålrekstadsvannet, but in the late 19th century, a dam was built on the south end of the lake to create a reservoir for the city's drinking water.
