Shagwenaw Lake is a lake along the course of the Churchill River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The Churchill River is largely a series of interconnected lakes that begins at Churchill Lake in north-western Saskatchewan and empties into the Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba. Upstream from Shagwenaw Lake along the Churchill River is Lac Île-à-la-Crosse and downstream is Dipper Lake. The lake is about 52 kilometres (32 mi) north-northeast of the community of Île-à-la-Crosse and is surrounded by boreal forest in the Canadian Shield.
The community of Patuanak and Wapachewunak 192D Indian reserve are situated along the lake's western shore where the Churchill River flows in. Access to the communities and the lake is from Highway 918 and Patuanak Airport.
