Mameigwess Lake (French: lac Mameigwess) is an irregularly-shaped lake in the north of the Unorganized Part of Kenora District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] The lake is in the Hudson Bay drainage basin.

The lake lies at an elevation of 245 metres (804 ft).[5]

The only named inflow is Michikenopik Creek at the southwest corner of the lake; there are numerous other unnamed inflows. The primary outflow is a channel, at the northwest, to Fishbasket Lake, which flows via the Fishbasket River, Winisk Lake, and the Winisk River to Hudson Bay.[2][3]
