Lake Waikare is the largest of several shallow lakes in the upper floodplain of the Waikato River in New Zealand's North Island. It is a riverine lake, located to the east of Te Kauwhata, 40 kilometres north of Hamilton. It covers 34 km².
Due to its shallow nature (its depth is never more than 2 metres) and the heavy use of fertiliser in the surrounding farming district, the waters of the lake are in poor condition.
