Cecita Lake (Italian: Lago di Cecita) is a lake in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, southern Italy. It is located in the northern part of the La Sila range on the western border of Sila National Park. The Mucone flows into and out of the lake. The lake is a reservoir built in 1951 by damming the Mucone. The dam is 55 meters high. Its purpose is to generate hydroelectricity. The dam is also used to irrigate surrounding fields which are largely used to grow potatoes. South of the lake is Lago di Ariamacina and Botte Donato.
