Nemei Lake is a glacial lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake is about 67 kilometres (42 mi) north-northwest of Creighton in the Northern Administration District. It is the source of the Nemei River, which is a tributary of the Churchill River. Both McArthur Lake and the bifurcating Kakinagimak Lake flow into Nemei Lake from the south.

There is no highway access to the lake. Access is by canoe following rivers and portages or from Flin Flon, Manitoba, via floatplane to a fly-in fishing lodge on an island in the lake.
