Lake Ohau Alpine Village, often referred to simply as Lake Ohau, is a village on the western shore of Lake Ōhau in New Zealand.

Lake Ohau village is located in the Waitaki District in Canterbury, 20 km (12 mi) west of Twizel. There are about 140 sections available in the village, with about half of these have houses built on them with a total of 75 houses.
