Black Lake is a First Nations community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, located on the northwest shore of Black Lake where the Fond du Lac River leaves the lake to flow to Lake Athabasca.

It is the main community of the Black Lake Denesuline Nation reserve with a land base of over 32,000 hectares (79,074 acres).[5]Formerly, the Black Lake band used the name "Stony Rapids", which is now the name of a separate community 20 kilometres (12 mi) northwest and downstream on the Fond du Lac River, not on reserve land.
