Kakinagimak Lake is a bifurcating lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The northern part of the lake drains north into the Churchill River drainage basin while the southern part drains into the Wildnest–Sturgeon-Weir River system. The Sturgeon-Weir River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River. The lake lies in low-relief forested terrain of the Canadian Shield. The climate is sub-arctic.

Kakinagimak Lake is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) north-west of Flin Flon, Manitoba and 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan. There is a fly-in fishing lodge on the lake.
