Falcon Lake is located in the Whiteshell Provincial Park in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The lake is reputedly named for Métis poet / songwriter Pierre Falcon (1793-1876). The lake may have inspired the name of TV series Falcon Beach although that fictional location is set on another Manitoba Lake.

It is known in Ufology for the Falcon Lake Incident.
