Lake Odessa is a village in Ionia County of the U.S. state of Michigan.

Since 1987, Lake Odessa has been named a "Tree City USA" by the National Arbor Day Foundation.

Investor Humphrey Wager purchased 80 acres (320,000 m2) of farmland on Jordan Lake and platted the village in 1887.

With the advantage of a station on the new railroad, the new village quickly eclipsed the former settlement at Bonanza.

John R. Waite, a local man with an interest in history, has been credited with significant historical research for the village of Lake Odessa.

John is also recognized as the President of the Lake Odessa Area Historical Society and is involved with the Train Depot Museum.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.89 square miles (2.31 km2), all land.
