Velké Hincovo pleso je karové ledovcové jezero nacházející se ve Vysokých Tatrách v Mengusovské doline. Jeho délka je 740 metru a šírka 370 m. Leží v nadmorské výšce 1944,8 m n. m. a prumerne 270 dní v roce je zamrzlé. Jeho název je pravdepodobne odvozen od jména nekterého z majitelu pozemku nebo pastýre, který k nemu vystoupil.

Prístup je možný pešky a to pouze v období od 16. cervna do 31. ríjna. Od Popradského plesa trvá výstup 1,5 hodiny.

The Great Hincovo Mountain-lake (1944 m, area of 200,800.- m2, depth 53,7 m) is the largest and the deepest mountain-lake in the Slovak part of the High Tatras mountains. It is situated in the upper part of the Mengusovská Valley right at the Kôprovský Pinnacle. The mountain-lake arose in a big glacier basin surrounded by steep rocky massifs. It is separated from the lower part of the valley by a terrace rounded and smoothed by glaciers.

The name Hincovo Mountain-lake probably comes from an owner of one of the local parcels or a shepherd who ascended for the first time up to the lake.
