Kalri Lake (Urdu: کلری جھیل) is located in Thatta District, Sindh, Pakistan.

Around 10000 people have drowned in this lake. The biggest incident took place on June 1st 2003, when a boat with 26 people on board sunk and they all died. They were all from the same family.

The Sindhi legend of Noori Jam Tamachi took place around the lake, and to this day there is a shrine in the middle of the lake marking Noor's grave. Everyday hundreds of devotees visit the shrine.

It also goes by the name "Keenjhar lake"
