Tarahuín Lake (Spanish: Lago Tarahuín) is a lake in south-central Chiloé Island, Chile. It has an area of 7.7 km. The lake's catchment basin is mostly made up of hilly terrain that is covered by native forest, and to a lesser extent natural prairies.

Chile Route 5 passes next to the lake's western end.
