{{Short description|Lake with no official name}}
An '''unnamed lake''' is a body of water with no official nor generally agreed upon name.  Such a [lake](/source/lake) is officially nameless though it may have one or more unofficial names used locally.  This is common for many tiny lakes, [farm pond](/source/pond)s, and minor lakes in remote areas.

==Designated==
A lake designated as ''unnamed'' can be distinguished from a lake actually named '''Unnamed Lake''' by its capitalization. Some lakes named the latter are:
* northwestern [Montana](/source/Montana), U.S. {{coord | 47.756 | -113.069 | type:lake_source:gnis-801638_dim:115_elevation:2181}}
