Lake Alexandrina is located in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand's South Island, between the much larger lakes Tekapo and Pukaki, to the north of Lake Tekapo township. The lake is spring fed with an outlet on its eastern shore mid way down the lake. The outlet feeds into a smaller lake, Lake MacGregor before feeding into Lake Tekapo. Lake Alexandrina is a nature reserve and a trout fisherman's paradise. A small number of fisherman's huts are clustered at each end of the lake and near the outlet. Row boats are the only mode of transport on the lake as Sail and motor boats are prohibited.

The Maori name for the lake is "Whakatukumoana".
