Pirihueico Lake ( _es. Lago Pirihueico) is one of "The Seven Lakes" in Panguipullis municipality, southern Chile. The lake is of glacial origin and it is enclosed by mountain ranges of the Andes. It is located in a geological fault that includes Panguipulli Lake and Lácar Lake in Argentina. The lake is drained by Fui River.

Pirihueico Lake is used as a waterway due to its elonged shape. It is used mostly by vehicles traveling to or from Argentina by the nearby Huahum Pass.
