Lake Algonquin was a proglacial lake that existed in east-central North America at the time of the last ice age. Parts of the former lake are now Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and inland portions of northern Michigan.

The lake varied in size, but it was at the biggest size at the post-glacial period and gradually shrunk to the current Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
