Lake Maraetai is one of several artificial lakes formed as part of a hydroelectricity scheme on the Waikato River in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located 85 kilometres southeast of Hamilton, close to the town of Mangakino.

It is a relatively small lake, covering only 4.4 km², but it is 75 metres deep at some points, and the powerhouse at its northern end generates 360 MW of power.
