Lake Hayes is a small lake in Central Otago, in New Zealand's South Island. it is located close to the towns of Arrowtown and Queenstown.

The lake was originally known as Hays Lake after D. Hay, an Australian who came to the district looking for sheep country in 1859. Its name gradually changed to Lake Hayes, as its discovery was credited erroneously to Captain "Bully" Hayes, an early local character of the district.
