Lake Rotoma is the easternmost in a chain of three lakes to the northeast of Lake Rotorua in New Zealand's North Island. Like the others, it lies within the Okataina caldera. It is located exactly half-way between the city of Rotorua and town of Whakatane.

Lake Rotoma has a high water quality with visibility up to around 13 metres deep. The lake has a maximum depth of 83 metres in the northern part and 73.5 metres in the southern part. During the 1987 Edgecumbe Earthquake the lake level dropped by approximately 10m, leaving homes that were previously on the lakeside some distance from the lake.
