{{nihongo|Lake Kamo|加茂湖|Kamo-ko|lead=yes}} is a brackish lake on the Sado Island in the Sea of Japan off the west coast of Honshu, Japan. The lake is the largest of Niigata prefecture.

Originally Lake Kamo was a fresh water lake, but was opened to the sea during the Meiji period to avoid floods, and the water became brackish. The lake is famous for oyster farming, since 1932.[https://www.visitsado.com/en/spot/detail0136/ Visitsado.com]

Lake Kamo is ranked among the top 100 Landscapes of Japan.
