Lake Mahinerangi is a small hydroelectric lake formed by a dam on the Waipori River 35 kilometres to the west of Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island.
The hydro dam was completed in 1924, and the lake was named for Olive Mahinerangi Barnett, the daughter of William Barnett, mayor of Dunedin 1911-1912. The lake has a maximum length of 12 kilometres, and lies on the western side of Maungatua, above and to the west of the Berwick Forest. It is surrounded by farmland, tussock grasslands, and plantation forest.
TrustPowers proposed Mahinerangi Wind Farm will be located to the north of the lake.
