Lake Témiscouata is a lake in the Témiscouata region of southeastern Quebec, Canada. It is 45 km long and 5 km wide. The Madawaska River flows from this lake to the Saint John River.

The city of Cabano, Notre-Dame-du-Lac, Dégelis and are located on this lake. Forestry is a major industry in this area.

The Petit Témis Interprovincial Bicycle Path, runs from Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec to Edmundston, New Brunswick, following an abandoned CN Rail line along the lake.

The lake is theorized to be the inspiration for the nearby parish of Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!. One explanation suggests the archaic French word haha, here meaning an unexpected obstacle or abruptly ending path, as the lake is an extremely long and particularly formidable obstacle to travel.
