Lake Nemiscau (in French: Lac Nemiscau) is a freshwater lake, located in the municipality of Eeyou Istchee James Bay, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in north-western Quebec, in Canada. The lake Nemiscau is crossed by Rupert River.

The abandoned settlement of Nemiscau is on the north shore, but in recent years, Cree people have been re-establishing Nemiscau as a summer residence. The nearest village is the town of Nemaska, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast.
