Sawgrass Lake is a lake in Brevard County, Florida, United States. It is one of the lakes that form the St. Johns River.

The size of the lake is less than 1,000 acres (4 km²) because of the low velocity of the river; it is located near its headwaters. It is only 4 miles (6.4 km) in diameter. The lake adjoins the Indian Fields. The lake is only 3 miles (4.8 km) upstream from Lake Washington, the county's largest lake.
