Der Litzelsee bei Radolfzell-Markelfingen ist ein periodisch auftretender kleiner See mit besonderer Flora und Fauna.

Der Litzelsee liegt im Molasse- und Moränengebiet des Bodanrücks in 419 m ü. NHN. in einer 5 bis 10 m tiefen Mulde. Wenn im Frühjahr nach der Schneeschmelze das Grundwasser über deren tiefsten Punkt ansteigt, bildet es den bis zu 100 m langen, 50 - 60 m breiten und einen Meter tiefen See. Durch Verdunstung und Versickerung verschwindet er allmählich wieder.

Der Kleinkrebs Dunhevedia crassa kommt hier einzig in Deutschland vor.
