Lac-Croche (French pronunciation: [la kʁɔʃ]) is an unorganized territory in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada, in the north of La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, taking up more than 50% of this regional county. It is unpopulated and undeveloped, almost entirely part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
It is named after Lake Croche, roughly located in the centre of the territory. The name "Croche", French for crooked or hook, refers to the curved shape of the lake.
