The Haidenweiher is a large pond about 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) southwest of the village of Dreifelden in the county of Westerwaldkreis in Germany. It has a surface area of c. 30 hectares (74 acres) and is the second largest of the Westerwald Lakes. It is linked to the Dreifelder Weiher by a drainage ditch and is used today for breeding fish. The pond was designated as a nature reserve in 1979 and is surrounded by dense woods. Rare bird species nest along its shores, especially waders.
