Lake Guthridge is a small artificial lake in Sale, Victoria, Australia.^[1] It is named after the first Sale mayor, Nehemiah Guthridge.

The lake was originally a bog but Guthridge suggested converting it into a lake to supply the growing population. Its sister, Lake Guyatt acts as overflow. It is however described as an ornamental lake.^[2]
