De Leijen (Frisian and officially: De Leien) is a lake in the province of Friesland (Netherlands), located between Oostermeer (Eastermar) and Opeinde (De Pein). It came into being through peat extraction and is therefore shallow in many places. A navigation channel runs through the lake, connecting to the Opeinderve Canal to Opeinde, to the Lits towards Eastermar, and to Rottevalle (De Rottefalle).
