Butte Lake is a lake located in the northeast section of Lassen Volcanic National Park in the U.S. state of California at an elevation of 6,053 ft (1,845 m).

The irregularly-shaped lake lies at the northern end of Cinder Cone and the Fantastic Lava Beds, which is a complex of lava flows and a cinder cone.

Lava from Cinder Cone's 1666 eruption flowed into and around the lake.

[2] Water from Butte Lake drains via Butte Creek, which flows north out of the parkland.There is a campground and ranger station located to the west of the lake.

Butte Lake is accessible via an unpaved road which branches off from California Route 44.
