Aiguebelette-le-Lac (French pronunciation: [ɛɡbəlɛt lak]; lit. "Aiguebelette-the-Lake"; Arpitan: Égouabelèta), also simply known as Aiguebelette, is a rural commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in Southeastern France. In 2020, it had a population of 230. It is named after and lies on the southeastern shore of the Lac d'Aiguebelette, one of the largest natural lakes in the area. Le Port, north of the village of Aiguebelette-le-Lac and part of the commune, has a small lakeside marina, with a beach.

The commune also contains the Château d'Aiguebelette-le-Lac, a medieval structure (early 14th century) in a ruinous state, while the main church in the village centre, the Église Saint-André, dedicated to Saint Andrew, was restored in 1854.
