Lac la Plonge is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the basin of the Beaver River, near Lac Île-à-la-Crosse. It is located in the boreal forest near the Canadian Shield. On the lake's northern shore, the community of Lac La Plonge, a resort, and campgrounds are accessed via Highway 165.
The Rivière la Plonge, Lac la Plonge's outflow, flows west from the north-west section of the lake into Beaver River at Beauval. The lake's outflow is the site of the Lac La Plonge Dam, which is operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.
