Chain O'Lakes is an Indiana state park on {{convert|2718|acre|km2|2}} in Noble County, Indiana, in the United States. The park is {{convert|19|mi|km|0}} northwest of Fort Wayne.

As the name suggests, it is a park for boaters, with eight connecting lakes, and eleven lakes total. The lakes are kettle lakes, formed by receding ice sheets of the Pleistocene Epoch, which also made the steeply rolling hills and bogs of the park. Bowen Lake is the deepest at {{convert|65|ft|m|0}}, and the shallowest is Dock Lake at {{convert|20|ft|m|0}} deep. Outwash sediments, sediment from Canada, and muck/peat filled bogs caused by the glaciers are accessible by the several miles of hiking trails. Power boats on the lakes are restricted to electric motors only.

There are more than {{convert|10|mi|km|0}} of hiking trails. Cross-country skiing is available in the winter. There is one large campground as well as a Rally campground, a Youth Tent Area and a canoe camp. There are also 18 furnished cabins available for rental. There is one swimming area in the park.

Starting in 2011, Chain O'Lakes State Park has served as the site of The HUFF 50K Trail Run and Relay, the twelfth largest ultramarathon in North America.
