Faaker See or Lake Faak ( _de. Faaker See, _sl. Baško jezero) is an alpine lake in the Austrian state of Carinthia. With a surface of approximately 2.2 km² it is the state's fifth largest lake. Faaker See is a popular vacation and bathing destination, known for its clear turquoise water. Fishing, especially for whitefish ("Reinanke") is also quite popular.

It is located south of Villach and the Drava river at the northern slope of the Karawanken mountain range. The settlements of "Drobollach" and "Egg" on the northern shore belong to the City of Villach. The village of "Faak" in the southwest, after which the lake is named, is part of the Finkenstein municipality.
