Murray Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of North Battleford in the Rural Municipality of Meota No. 468. Murray Lake's outflow, Lehman Creek, connects it to the larger Jackfish Lake within the North Saskatchewan River drainage basin. Murray Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary encompasses Murray Lake and some of the surrounding shoreline.
Several small communities dot the lake's shore with the resort village of Cochin being the largest. Highways 4 and 769 provide access to the lake and its amenities. Murray Lake's water levels are regulated by a control structure at Jackfish Lake's outflow.
