}}Lake Harris is a endorheic salt lake in the Australian state of South Australia to the north of the Eyre Peninsula located about {{convert|530|km}} northwest of the state capital of Adelaide within the gazetted localities of Lake Harris and Wilgena.[3][6]

Lake Harris was named by the Government of South Australia after the surveyor, Charles Hope Harris, who discovered and mapped it in 1874.[7]

Lake Harris is aligned in a north-easterly direction with an overall length of about {{convert|20|mi|km|order=flip}} and a maximum width of about {{convert|10|mi|km|order=flip}}.[3][8] It extent includes “a number of Islands” described as being formed from “Quaternary deposits with extensive sand cover.”[5] Its bed consists of “gypsiferous muds, clays and silts with some gypsum crystals” topped with a salt crust of thickness in the range of {{convert|30|mm}} to {{convert|75|mm}}, although parts of the lake have a surface with “no identifiable salt crust”.[5] The lake bed contains a dune field of gypsum sands which vegetated with both “low samphire shrubland and tall shrubland with a chenopod shrub understorey.”[9]

Lake Harris along with the nearby lakes of Everard and Gairdner, form the extent of the protected area known as the Lake Gairdner National Park.[2]
