Lake Banksiadale is a freshwater lake in Western Australia. It is located at coord|32|39|S|116|04|E|type:waterbody_region:AU-WA, about six kilometres north-east of Dwellingup in the locality of Banksiadale, Shire of Murray, in the Peel region. Since 1971 it has been the site of the South Dandalup Dam, the largest dam supplying water to Perth, Western Australia's capital city.

Its proximity to Dwellingup makes it a popular recreation area. Western Australia's Water Corporation manages the area, and has provided facilities including picnic areas with gas barbecues, and a number of walk trails.
