Lake Clark is a lake in southern Alaska. It drains through Six Mile Lake and the Newhalen River into Iliamna Lake. The lake is about 64 km (40 miles) long and about 8 km (5 miles) wide.

Lake Clark was named for John W. Clark, chief of the Nushagak trading post in 1891 and the first American non-Native to see the lake. The native name was Kilchiq-vona, which may be a Yup'ik name with an Athabascan ending.

Lake Clark is within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
