Lakeport is a neighborhood in the city of Laconia in Belknap County, New Hampshire, United States. It was once known as "Lake Village"{{Cite web| url=https://archive.org/stream/historicalsketch00hayn/historicalsketch00hayn_djvu.txt| title=Historical sketches of Lakeport, New Hampshire, formerly Lake Village, now the sixth ward of Laconia; the historical collections of Horace G. Whittier| publisher=archive.org| accessdate=August 25, 2016}} and is centered on a power dam on the short river channel between Paugus Bay (an arm of Lake Winnipesaukee) to the north, and Opechee Bay to the south. Lakeport lies approximately {{convert|1.5|mi}} north of downtown Laconia.

During the summer months, the Lakeport train station is the southern destination of the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. Trains are boarded at Weirs Beach or Meredith to the north.{{cite web| url=http://www.hoborr.com/WINNI.HTML| title=Lakeside Train Rides| publisher=Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad| accessdate=2008-08-08}}

Once a busy center for entertainment, the business area of Lakeport now consists of a couple of convenience stores, several restaurants, a large hotel on Opechee Bay, a small post office, and other small businesses. Over the past few years projects to revitalize the area have included redesign of the main intersection, replacement of the Lakeport Bridge, new plantings and foot bridges for pedestrians. Such projects have encouraged new business growth and investment to include lodging, dining, and various other services.{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}}

There are two free public parks that have been rebuilt over the last couple of years and have new playground equipment. There are also several boat launches and marinas on the Paugus Bay side of Lakeport.{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}}
