Lake Narach (Naroch) (беларуская. Нарач, Шаблон:IPA2, polski. Narocz, lietuvių. Narutis, русский. Нарочь) is a lake in North-West Belarus (Miadziel raion, Minsk Province). The lake is located in the northern part of the country, in the basin of the Vilija river. It is the largest lake in Belarus (before 1939 Narocz was the largest lake of Poland).
Narach is a part of Narach lake group (the others being Miastra (беларуская. Мястра), Batoryn (беларуская. Баторын), Blednaje (беларуская. Бледнае)). It is surrounded by pine forests. Narach River flows out of it.

Young Pioneer camp of national importance Zubryonok was located by the lake. After the collapse of the Soviet Union the camp was reformed into the National children recreational camp "Zubrania", which is now the most important children recreational camp in Belarus.
During World War I, the surrounding area was a focal point of Lake Naroch Offensive (March-April 1916), an inconclusive offensive operation mounted by Russian forces against the German army.
