The Caratasca Lagoon (Шаблон:Lang-es) is a large lagoon in the department of Gracias a Dios in northeastern Honduras. Puerto Lempira, the capital of the department, lies on its shores.

The lagoon covers Шаблон:Cvt[1] and extends approximately 25 miles inland from the Caribbean Sea, and is fed by rivers including the Mocorón, Warunta, and Nakunta.[2] The largest island in the lagoon is Tansin. Its western shore is protected as part of a biological reserve.[3][4]

The Caratasca Lagoon was the site of the landfall of Hurricane Mitch in 1998 which caused much ecological damage.
