Cadotte Lake is an unincorporated community in northern Alberta, Canada within Northern Sunrise County.[2] It is located on the northern shore of the homonymous lake, along Highway 986, 79 km (49 mi) east of Peace River and 68 km (42 mi) west of the Bicentennial Highway (Highway 88).

The community straddles the boundary between the Woodland Cree First Nation Reserve 226 and Northern Sunrise County. The western portion of the community, located within the reserve, is known as the Cadotte Lake Indian Settlement,[3] while the eastern portion, located within Northern Sunrise County, is designated a hamlet.[2]

Cadotte Airport is located 2.7 km (1.7 mi) east of the settlement.

The community is named for the nearby lake, as is the out-flowing Cadotte River, which lends its name to the Cadotte Member of the Peace River Formation, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
