Lake Arapuni is one of several artificial lakes formed as part of a hydroelectricity scheme on the Waikato River in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 65 kilometres southeast of Hamilton, to the north of Mangakino.

The dam, at the small settlement of Arapuni at the lake's northern end, was the first constructed on the Waikato, and was completed in 1929. The lake covers 9 square kilometres.
