Mascardi Lake (Spanish: "Lago Mascardi") is a lake in the lake region of northern Patagonia in Río Negro Province in Argentina. The lake depression consists of several glacial valleys carved out along faults and Miocene valleys that were later dammed by moraines. The lake is named after Nicolás Mascardi a 17th century Jesuit who missioned in the area.
