Lake Margaret (coord|42|00|S|145|32|E|type:waterbody_region:AU-TAS) is the name of a lake high up on the north side of Mount Sedgwick,in the West Coast Range, West Coast of Tasmania in Australia.

A dam was built in 1912 to raise its water level by six metres, for the hydroelectric Lake Margaret Power Station and a townsite with the same name was constructed at that time.

Numerous smaller lakes - some named and some not, lie above the location of the lake. The larger lower altitude natural lake lies to the south east side of Mount Sedgwick and is known as Lake Beatrice.
