Duck Bay is a community located in the Canadian province of Manitoba, along the western shores of Lake Winnipegosis.

The primary industry of the community is fishing, trapping and some agriculture. The Duck Bay wharf provides berthing for 15–20 skiffs and 3–5 whitefish vessels.[2]

The inhabitants of the community once called Baie de Canard (French for Duck Bay) [2] are mostly Métis of Ojibway and French ancestry.
