Iskwatikan Lake is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan entirely within Lac La Ronge Provincial Park. It is about 63 kilometres (39 mi) east-north-east from La Ronge. Iskwatikan is Cree for "left over". The lake is along the course of the Rapid River within the Churchill River drainage basin. Upstream is Lac la Ronge and downstream is Nistowiak Falls and Nistowiak Lake — which is a lake along the course of the Churchill River. Access to Iskwatikan Lake is by boat or float plane.

Iskwatikan Lake Lodge is a fly-in fishing lodge on Hickson Island near Iskwatikan Lake's outflow. The lodge has modern cabins and 16-foot, 20 horse boats.
