Grand Lake, or the Grand Lake District, is a neighborhood of Oakland, California. The neighborhood is located near the northeast corner of Lake Merritt, where Grand and Lakeshore Avenues pass under Interstate 580.

The two streets are connected at their closest point by Lake Park Avenue and Splashpad Park, home of the neighborhood's large Saturday farmers' market.

The Grand Lake neighborhood has seen a significant degree of revitalization since the 1990s. The property values of the area have increased as a result, contributing to the overall rise in land value of the San Francisco Bay Area.
