Red Deer Lake^[1] is a lake located in the west-central region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. The lake's primary inflow and outflow is the Red Deer River. It is situated approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Barrows and 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Dawson Bay, which is part of the larger Lake Winnipegosis. The lake lies about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east of the Saskatchewan border.

Geographically, Red Deer Lake is almost entirely within the northwest corner of Manitoba's Census Division No. 19, with its northernmost parts extending into the southwest corner of Division No. 21. In addition to the Red Deer River, the lake is fed by several smaller rivers and creeks, including the Grassy River, Armit River, Little Woody River, Wilson Creek, Homestead Creek, North Shore Creek, and Lost River. The lake's shoreline features several named bays, such as Grassy Bay, Armit River Bay, Ellis Bay, Woody Bay, Long Point Bay, and Lost River Bay. The lake does not have any notable islands.
