This article is about the state. For lakes in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., see List of lakes of the Washington, D.C., area.

This is a list of natural lakes and reservoirs located fully or partially in the U.S. state of Washington. Natural lakes that have been altered with a dam, such as Lake Chelan, are included as lakes, not reservoirs. Swimming, fishing, and/or boating are permitted in some of these lakes, but not all.
