Lake Macquarie Yacht Club (LMYC) is a yacht club located on Ada Street, Belmont, New South Wales, Australia.

The club was founded in 1929 to cater for skiffs over 16 feet and combine both cruising and racing activities in its calendar of events.[1] At a meeting on 2 October 1929 A. V. Toll was elected president; R. G. Gardiner, commodore; Dr Blumer, vice-commodore; and J. G. Biddlecombe, secretary and handicapper.[2]

At the annual general meeting in September 1933 members voted to erect a clubhouse at Belmont at a cost of £500.[3]
