Lake Flannigan is a natural freshwater lake on King Island, Tasmania, Australia, situated four kilometres (two point five miles) south of the Cape Wickham Lighthouse, in the northern locality of Wickham.[1]

At approximately 150 hectares (370 acres), it is the largest body of water on King Island. The size of the lake fluctuates significantly. In times of sustained high rainfall the length can reach almost 2 kilometres (1.2 mi), and its width in some parts can be up to 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi).[2]

The floor of the lake lies 15.25 metres (50.0 ft) AHD .[3]: 62  Reports of the depth of the water vary widely from 9.1 metres (30 ft) in 1887[4] to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in 2007 after a period of severe drought coupled with the previous mis-direction of drainage into the lake.[5]

The lake is visible from Springs Road to the south, and Cape Wickham Road to the east.
