{{nihongo|'''Lake Kamo'''|加茂湖|Kamo-ko|lead=yes}} is a [[Brackish water|brackish]] lake on the [[Sado Island]] in the [[Sea of Japan]] off the west coast of [[Honshu]], Japan. The lake is the largest of [[Niigata prefecture]].
Originally Lake Kamo was a fresh water lake, but was opened to the sea during the [[Meiji period]] to avoid floods, and the water became brackish. The lake is famous for [[oyster farming]], since 1932.<ref>[https://www.visitsado.com/en/spot/detail0136/ Visitsado.com]</ref>
Lake Kamo is ranked among the top [[100 Landscapes of Japan (Shōwa era)|100 Landscapes of Japan]].<ref name="ST" />
