Arcadia Lake (born Michelle Carpenter, died 1990) was a pornographic actress.

Arcadia met porn star Eric Edwards, who helped her through a detox program for methadone. She was later introduced to pornography by Edwards, becoming a porn starlet during the late 1970s and early 1980s. During her tenure in pornography, she worked mainly with Edwards, to whom she was briefly married.

During this span, Arcadia made about 50 movies, starting in 1978 in the classic Summertime Blue. She also co-starred in the seminal and controversial 1970s pornographic movie Debbie Does Dallas. She has been accused of being responsible for getting Edwards (who initially helped her recover from her drug addictions) addicted to drugs, particularly cocaine. Edwards eventually recovered, though Arcadia left him and stopped performing in adult films in 1984.

Arcadia died from a drug overdose in 1990.
