Griswold Lake is a glacial tarn in the Ruby Mountains, in Elko County in the northeastern part of the state of Nevada. It is located at the head of Hennen Canyon, at approximately coord|40|38.1|N|115|29.2|W|region:US_type:waterbody, and at an elevation of 9220 feet (2810 meters). It has an area of approximately 17 acres (7 hectares), and a depth of up to 20 feet (6 meters).

Griswold Lake is the principal source of Butterfield Creek, which flows down Hennen Canyon before exiting the mountains into Pleasant Valley. The lake is named after Chauncy "Chan" Griswold, an early rancher in Pleasant Valley and the father of Nevada Governor Morley Griswold. Butterfield Creek was also named after an early rancher, Henry Butterfield.
