Labbas is a lake in the Swedish municipality of Arjeplog near the village of Sundnäs close to the Arctic Circle.[1] The lake stands at 488 meters above sea level. Locally, the lake is known for being a good fishing ground for char.

Astrid Lindgren used the name of the lake as a name in Ronia the Robber's Daughter after she found it on a road map.
