Lake Harris is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 530 kilometres (330 miles) north-west of the capital city of Adelaide and which is associated with the lake also known as Lake Harris.
The locality was established on 26 April 2013 in respect to “the long established local name” which is derived from the lake of the same name. The boundary with the adjoining locality of Wilgena was located with the result that the western branch of Lake Harris and the western half of an island named Wallabin Island were located within the former locality. In 2014, the boundary was altered to “ensure the whole of Wallabin Island is within the rural locality of Lake Harris.”
The principal land use within the locality is conservation with the full extent of the locality being occupied by the Lake Gairdner National Park.
Lake Harris is located within the federal Division of Grey, the state electoral district of Giles, the Pastoral Unincorporated Area of South Australia and the state's Far North region.

Lake Harris is an endorheic salt lake in the Australian state of South Australia to the north of the Eyre Peninsula located about 530 kilometres (330 mi) northwest of the state capital of Adelaide within the gazetted localities of Lake Harris and Wilgena.
Lake Harris was named by the Government of South Australia after the surveyor, Charles Hope Harris, who discovered and mapped it in 1874.
Lake Harris is aligned in a north-easterly direction with an overall length of about 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a maximum width of about 16 kilometres (10 mi). It extent includes “a number of Islands” described as being formed from “Quaternary deposits with extensive sand cover.” Its bed consists of “gypsiferous muds, clays and silts with some gypsum crystals” topped with a salt crust of thickness in the range of 30 millimetres (1.2 in) to 75 millimetres (3.0 in), although parts of the lake have a surface with “no identifiable salt crust”. The lake bed contains a dune field of gypsum sands which vegetated with both “low samphire shrubland and tall shrubland with a chenopod shrub understorey.”
Lake Harris along with the nearby lakes of Everard and Gairdner, form the extent of the protected area known as the Lake Gairdner National Park.
