The Devils Lake Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library located in Devils Lake, North Dakota. It was built in 1909 and designed by architect Joseph A. Shannon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

It was opened in January 1910 with no ceremony, but the local newspaper afterward declared the opening to be a "'great event'", marking a "'new era in the intellectual advancement of Devils Lake'".[2]:7

Danish-born builder Valdemar or Vlademar Gram built the library, the Locke Block (also NRHP-listed), and numerous other Devils Lake buildings.[2][3]
