Lake Georgetown is a reservoir on the north fork of the San Gabriel River in central Texas in the United States. Lake Georgetown is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir formed on the San Gabriel by the North San Gabriel Dam, which is located about three miles west of Georgetown, Texas. The dam, lake and all adjacent property are managed by the Fort Worth District of the Corps of Engineers. The dam was officially completed on October 5, 1979, and serves to provide flood control for the community of Georgetown. Lake Georgetown, a popular recreational destination, is also a source of drinking water for Georgetown and the nearby city of Round Rock.

The only other reservoir on the San Gabriel River is Granger Lake, located near Granger, Texas about 25 airline miles downstream of Lake Georgetown.
