Lake Gregory is a salt lake in northern South Australia. It lies to the west of Lake Blanche; to the east the Birdsville Track runs in between it and Lake Eyre. It is named after the explorer A. C. Gregory, who first passed by it in 1858. Originally Lake Eyre was named Lake Gregory by B. H. Babbage, but the names were modified by Governor Richard Graves MacDonnell, who preferred to name the former after the famous explorer who first investigated the region twenty years prior, Edward John Eyre.
