The Lac d'Aiguebelette (French pronunciation: [lak dɛɡbəlɛt]; Lake of Aiguebelette) is a natural lake north of the Chartreuse Mountains in the French Alps and just west of the Chaîne de l'Épine in the Jura Mountains. It is located within five communes in the Savoie department: Aiguebelette-le-Lac, Lépin-le-Lac, Saint-Alban-de-Montbel, Novalaise and Nances.

The lake hosted the 1997 and 2015 World Rowing Championships.^[1][2]
