Lake Lanutavake ({{langx|fr|Lac Lanutavake}}) is a small crater lake surrounded by jungle on the southwest side of Wallis (Uvea) in the Pacific. It lies to the northeast of Fineveke.{{cite map|title= Maps|publisher=Google Maps}} Like Lake Lalolalo, there is a rumor that the US military dumped equipment in the lake at the end of World War II.{{cite book|last=Stanley|first=David|title=South Pacific Handbook|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T9uXirhyw7YC&pg=PA483|accessdate=29 April 2012|year=1996|publisher=David Stanley|isbn=978-1-56691-040-8|page=483}} The smaller lakes Lanumaha and Lanutuli lie to the northeast and northwest respectively.

The archaeological site Tonga Toto is located close to the lake.[https://www.easyvoyage.co.uk/wallis-and-futuna/the-site-of-tonga-toto-wallis--3556 The site of Tonga Toto]
