Paviken is a lake in Västergarn on the western side of the island of Gotland. The lake is a popular birding and fishing site.

The lake is drained by the river Idå. The lake and its surroundings form a nature reserve which is more populated by birds than any other reserve on the island. In 1994, the reserve was designated a Natura 2000 area. During spring and autumn it is a stop-over site for migratory birds; a total of 240 species have been observed in the area. The lake offers fishing principally for perch and pike.
