Owikeno Lake, also ;Owekeeno Lake, Owekano Lake, Oweekayno Lake and other spellings (pron. "o we KEE no"), is a large fjord lake in the Central Coast region of British Columbia, Canada. It connects to the head of Rivers Inlet by the short Wannock River. The lake's name comes from the indigenous people of the region, the Wuikinuxv, whose settlements and territory lie around the lake. Their largest and principal settlement was on an island in the upper reaches of the lake named Katil.
Owikeno Lake is fed by several large rivers, the Tzeo, Inziana, Machmell, Neechantz, Sheemahant and Washwash Rivers.
