This is a list of notable lakes and reservoirs located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Many of the lakes listed here contain game fish and are managed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Some may dry out or freeze out fish, and require seasonal restocking. Most lakes will not allow large motorboats.

Due to Arizona's dry climate, many listed here are intermittent lakes and do not contain water throughout the entire year. Swimming, fishing, and/or boating are permitted in some of these lakes, but not all.
