Lake Ngakapua is a dune lake in the Northland Region of New Zealand.[1] It is located to the northwest of Awanui, near Waipapakauri on the Aupouri Peninsula.

The lake has no defined inflows or outflows. The lake consists of two basins; the North is smaller and deeper (2.2 ha in size, c. 8.2 m deep), while the South is larger and slightly shallower (6.7 ha in size, c. 5.2 m deep). The lake catchment area is predominantly pastoral, with some scrub and planted forest.[2]
