North Lake is a freshwater lake in the suburb of North Lake, located 18km (11miles) south of the central business district of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and 8km (05miles) from the Indian Ocean. The suburb and lake are located within the City of Cockburn local government area.

It is part of the northernmost lake within a chain of lakes which make up the Beeliar Regional Park (North Lake, Bibra Lake, South Lake, Booragoon Lake, Yangebup Lake, and Thomsons Lake). The lake has been known by this name since 1877, and the name was approved for the suburb in 1954.
