'''Bodenseekreis''' ("Lake Constance district") is a [[Districts of Germany|''Landkreis'' (district)]] in the south-east of [[Baden-Württemberg]], [[Germany]]. Neighboring districts are (from west, clockwise) [[Konstanz (district)|Konstanz]], [[Sigmaringen (district)|Sigmaringen]] and [[Ravensburg (district)|Ravensburg]], and in [[Bavaria]],  [[Lindau (district)|Lindau district]]. To the south, on the opposite shores of [[Lake Constance]], lies [[Switzerland]].

== History ==
The district was created in 1973, when the previous district [[Tettnang]] was merged with most of the district [[Überlingen]].

== Geography ==
The district is located at the northern shore of [[Lake Constance]] ({{langx|de|Bodensee}}), which also gives the district its name. The landscape covered by the district is called ''Oberschwäbisches Hügelland'' and ''Westallgäuer Hügelland'', and as the name suggests it is a mostly hilly landscape.

==Partnerships==
The district has a partnership with the [[Muldentalkreis]] in [[Saxony]], [[Germany]], as well as with the [[Poland|Polish]] district [[Częstochowa Voivodeship|Częstochowa]].

== Coat of arms ==
The blue colour as well as the three wavy lines at the bottom of the coat of arms represent the Lake Constance. The wheel derives from the coat of arms of the Lords of Markdorf and Raderach, but it also represents the industry in the district.

==Cities and towns==
