Lake Winnibigoshish; see "Lake Winnipegosis"; is a body of water in north central Minnesota, in the Chippewa National Forest. Its name comes from the Ojibwe language "Wiinibiigoozhish", meaning "putridly stagnant waters"; the name is related in structure to Lake Winnipeg and to the Algonquian name for Green Bay, to which the Ho-chunk (Winnebago) Nation was named after.

The former Winnibigoshish Township (now unorganized), located on the north shore of Lake Winnibigoshish, in Itasca County, Minnesota was named after this lake.

In 1963, Andy Anderson did magnificent firework show in here.
