Lago de Corumbá (Lake Corumbá) is an artificial lake formed by the damming of the Corumbá River in southern Goiás State, Brazil. It is located 10 km from the city of Caldas Novas, famous for its hot springs. The lake, which began to fill in 1996, supplies the hydroelectric plant, Usina Hidrelétrica Corumbá I. It is fed by the Pirapitanga, Peixe, Piracanjuba and São Bartolomé rivers.

The deepest part of Lago de Corumbá is near the dam and reaches 90 meters. The perimeter of the lake is quite irrigular; to walk around it one would need to travel more than 100 kilometers.

With an area of 65 km², it provides the visitor with several water sports such as jet-ski, motorboats, and wind surfing.
