An annular lake is a circular lake caused by the impact of a meteor.

One of the largest annular lakes is Lake Manicouagan in Canada; the crater is a multiple-ring structure about {{convert|100|km|-1|abbr=on}} across, with its {{convert|70|km|-1|abbr=on}} diameter inner ring its most prominent feature; it contains a {{convert|70|km|-1|abbr=on}} diameter annular lake, surrounding an inner island plateau, René-Levasseur Island. It is Earth's sixth-largest confirmed impact crater according to rim-to-rim diameter.[1]

Another example is the Siljan Ring.
