Lake Waipori is the smaller and shallower of the pair of lakes located in the wetlands to the south west of Dunedin in New Zealand on the Waipori River.

[1] The Waipori River is a major tributary of the Taieri River, and these wetlands form the southern edge of the Taieri Plains.

[2] The lake is inhabited by various waterfowl and wetland birds.

[3][4] It is however too shallow and inaccessible (due to being surrounded with wetlands) to allow for recreation other than fishing and duck hunting in season.

[5] The lake is bordered to the southwest by the Sinclair Wetlands.
