'''Hjälmaren''' ({{IPA-sv|ˈjɛ̂lːmarɛn}} <small>or</small> {{IPA-sv|ˈjɛ̂lːmaɳ|}}<ref name="Bergman">{{Cite book |last=Jöran Sahlgren |url=https://runeberg.org/ortnamn/0016.html |title=Svenska ortnamn med uttalsuppgifter |last2=Gösta Bergman |year=1979 |page=12 |language=sv}}</ref>), also spelled '''Jälmaren''',<ref name="Bergman" /> is [[Sweden]]'s fourth largest lake. It is situated in the [[Central Swedish lowland]] and drains through [[Eskilstunaån]] into the adjacent Lake [[Mälaren]], which in turn drains into the [[Baltic Sea]], west of [[Stockholm]]. It is connected by waterway with Stockholm by the 13 kilometres long [[Hjälmare kanal]].
It is bounded by the [[Provinces of Sweden|provinces]] of [[Södermanland]], [[Närke]], and [[Västmanland]].
Hjälmaren is 63 kilometres long, about 20 kilometres wide, and has an average depth of 6 metres, and a surface of 483 km
Between 1878 and 1887, a damming project lowered the surface level of Hjälmaren {{Convert|1.3|m|ft}} to free up land for agriculture and to reduce the risk of flooding.
The rebel [[Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson]], was assassinated in 1436 at [[Engelbrektsholmen]], an islet in Lake Hjälmaren.▼
