Lloyd Lake is a lake in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, that is the home to a wide variety of non-native, non-migratory birds. Birds to be found within the lake area include geese, Peking ducks, Muscovy ducks, Campbell ducks, mallards, gulls and pigeons.

The lake is also home to some early San Francisco architecture : the remains of Alban Nelson Towne's 1101 California Street, Nob Hill house can be found by the lake, between JFK Drive and Crossover Drive. After the 1906 earthquake and fire devastated the building, his wife presented the portico, popularly known as "Portals to the Past", to the park in 1909.

Lloyd Lake is named in memory of Reuben Headley Lloyd, the park commissioner.
