Sturgeon Lake is a small lake in Nipissing District in northeastern Ontario, Canada. It lies about 2 km south of the community of Tomiko and about 8 km northeast of Highway 11. The lake sits in Stewart Township and is part of the Great Lakes Basin. It is about 1.2 km long and 0.68 km wide, with a surface elevation of 351 metres. Water flows west from Sturgeon Lake through a 550-metre channel into Little Tomiko Lake, which is crossed by the Ontario Northland Railway. Water from Little Tomiko Lake drains through the Little Tomiko River, the Tomiko River, the Sturgeon River, into Lake Nipissing, and finally through the French River to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.
