Lake Forsyth (known to Māori as Te Roto o Wairewa) is a lake in the Canterbury region of New Zealand.

It is fed by the Okuti River and exits via a gravel bank into the sea in the vicinity of the small community of Birdling's Flat.

State Highway 75 leading to Akaroa and part of the Little River Rail Trail follow the north-western shore of the lake.
