Jack Lake is a small lake in Ontario, Canada, at the southern end of the Canadian Shield. The lake is located in Peterborough County, approximately 100 mi (160 km) directly northeast of Toronto. The lake is very irregularly shaped with 3 deeply indented main bays and numerous smaller bays. The largest bay is Sharpe Bay and it is on the western end of the lake.

The lake was originally a bass and trout lake but fish such as muskellunge, walleye, rock bass, and perch have also been introduced.
