Weyakwin Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is situated east of the Thunder Hills and north-east of Prince Albert National Park in the boreal forest ecozone. The lake's outflow, Weyakwin River, stems from the eastern shore and heads east into Montreal Lake. Ramsey Bay, located at the lake's southern end on the western shore of Ramsey Bay, is the only community on the lake. Also at the southern end is the provincial Weyakwin Lake (Ramsey Bay) Recreation Site.

Access to Weyakwin Lake and its amenities is from a 16-kilometre (9.9 mi) all-weather road that branches off Highway 2 at the community of Weyakwin.
