Farm Island Lake is a lake in the U.S. state of Minnesota, located in Aitkin County north of Mille Lacs Lake. U.S. Route 169 runs just east of it.

The Ojibwe farmed small islands on the lake, where they also hunted, fished, and harvested wild rice.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources maintains Farm Island State Wildlife Management Area and two public boat launches on the lake.
