Forrestdale is a lake in Forrestdale, Western Australia, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Perth, the state capital.
It is a brackish, seasonal lake with extensive fringing sedgeland typical of the Swan Coastal Plain, and constitutes a major breeding, migration stop-over and semi-permanent drought refuge area for waterbirds. The lake usually dries out in mid-summer.
