thumb|left|Hinterstockensee in winter The Hinterstockensee is a lake below the Stockhorn and near Oberstockensee (1665 m) in the Swiss municipality of Erlenbach im Simmental in the Canton of Bern.
The lake has a island and is located at an elevation of 1595 meters. It lies in a rocky basin of a cirque on the south side of the Stockhorn and is embedded in the Couches-Rouges core (red marl slate of the upper Cretaceous) of the Hinterstockensee trough named after it. This syncline is located between the Schneeloch-Solhorn vault and the Walper-Schuppenzone and extends from the Hinterstockensee, Lasenberg, Nüschleten to Steinig Nacki. It is also called the "Flyschmulde" (after Roland Umiker) due to its flysch occurrence.
