Der Wocheiner See (slowenisch: Bohinjsko jezero, dt. bisw. Bohinjsee) ist mit einer Fläche von 3,18 km² der größte See Sloweniens. Er liegt auf einer Höhe von 525 m. i. J. im Gemeindegebiet von Bohinj und ist Teil des Triglav-Nationalparks. Der See ist ca. 4100 Meter lang, ca. 1200 Meter breit und bis zu 45 Meter tief. Der Hauptzufluss ist der in dem nahen Savica-Wasserfall (slowenisch: Slap Savice) entspringende Fluss Savica.

Der Name Wochein bezeichnet das Alpenbecken im Quellgebiet der Wocheiner Save von der Siedlung Soteska an aufwärts. Im oberen Abschnitt befindet sich ein geschlossenes Seebecken. Dieses gabelt sich dann zu zwei parallel verlaufenden Tälern, Zgornja und Spodnja dolina (das Obere und Untere Tal), die durch die markante Bergscheide von Savnica (863 m) und Rudnica (946 m) getrennt werden. Im unteren Teil liegt das kleine Talbecken von Nomenj. Das gesamte Tal ist gut 20 km lang und höchstens 5 km breit.
