Lake Te Anau
- Located in the southwestern corner of the South Island of New Zealand
- Lake Te Anau was important for the Ngai Tahu iwi[a] in pre-European times as the area was a traditional stopping point on their trails between the east and west coasts of the South Island of New Zealand, where they obtained food and resources.
- The lake was first discovered by European explorers Charles Naim and William Stephen in 1852.
- Two New Zealand Great Walks start at the lake.
- The Milford Track starts at the northern tip of the lake and the Kepler Track starts and ends at the south tip of the lake at the Waiau River.
