Lafarge Lake is a five-hectare man-made lake, located in Town Centre Park in central Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The area was originally a quarry, but in the 1970s the land was transferred to the city of Coquitlam, and a successful reclamation project ensued. Today, the following are stocked annually for public fishing:

* Brook trout
* Brown bullhead
* Cutthroat trout
* Lake whitefish
* Rainbow trout
