Jingpo Lake or Lake Jingpo (; Pinyin: Jìng Pō Hú) is a lake located in the upper reaches of the Mudan River among the Wanda Mountains in Ningan County, Heilongjiang Province, in the People's Republic of China.

The area is 95abbr=onNaNabbr=on and the storage capacity is 1.63 billion m3. The south part of lake is shallow with the deepest place in the northern part at 62m (203feet).

On Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn, there is a large surface body of liquid hydrocarbons, Jingpo Lacus, named after Jingpo Lake.
The lake was created about 10,000 years ago when the lava of volcanic eruptions in the region blocked the flow of the Mudan River. Jingpo Lake has experienced five volcanic eruptions.[2] It is the largest alpine lava barrier lake in China.[3]
