Lake Gossi, or Mare de Grossi, is a body of water near Gossi in the Cercle of Gourma-Rharous of the Tombouctou Region of Mali.The lake is near to the town of Gossi. In 1990, with lower rainfall than usual, there was competition over use of the land between cattle grazers and harvesting of fonio grains. Cattle spent three quarters of their grazing time around the shores of the lake, or in depressions. In the dry season, the Tamasheq people of the region rely on the lake as an important source of water, their only alternative being pits and wells to reach groundwater that may be 50 metres (160 ft) underground.The lake is home to a number of waterbird species.As of 2009, the lake was sometimes visited by lone male elephants in January or February.

Am See findet in der Kleinstadt wöchentlich ein überregional bedeutender Viehmarkt statt. Der See gehört zum Lebensraum einiger hundert Afrikanischer Elefanten in Mali. Ganz in der Nähe verunglückten Thierry Sabine (Gründer der Rallye Dakar), Daniel Balavoine und drei weitere Personen am 14. Januar 1986 bei einem Hubschrauber-Absturz tödlich. (de)

At the start of 1846 the forces of the Tuareg people of the Timbuktu area were surprised and defeated by a force of Fula lancers from the Massina Empire under Balobbo. As a result, for a period Timbuktu again came under the authority of Amadu II of Masina. (en)
