Lake Clark (Dena'ina: Qizhjeh Vena) is a lake in southwest Alaska. It drains through Six Mile Lake and the Newhalen River into Iliamna Lake. The lake is about 64 km (40 mi) long and about 8 km (5.0 mi) wide.

Lake Clark was named for John W. Clark, chief of the Nushagak trading post and the first American non-Native to see the lake, when an expedition financed by a weekly magazine reached it in February 1891.^[1] The Dena'ina Athabascan name is Qizjeh Vena which means "place where people gather lake".^[2] The lake is within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
