Fallen Leaf Lake is a mountain lake located in El Dorado County, California, near the California-Nevada state border, about one mile south west of the much larger Lake Tahoe. It is approximately aligned north-to-south and oval in shape, measuring approximately 2.9 miles on the long axis and 0.9 miles on the short axis.

A terminal moraine is visible at the north end of the lake on the northeast edge.
