Lake Laberge is a territorial electoral district of Yukon that has been represented in the Yukon Legislative Assembly since 1992.

The district is one of the Yukon's eight rural districts and is named after the eponymous Lake Laberge, which is within its boundaries. The riding is usually considered as a Yukon Party stronghold.

Lake Laberge encompasses the Whitehorse subdivisions of MacPherson, and Hidden Valley, as well as the residents of the Takhini Hot Springs Road, Pilot Mountain, the Hamlet of Ibex Valley, and the North Klondike Highway and Lake Laberge as far as Braeburn Lodge. The riding is also part of the traditional territory of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation, the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and the Ta'an Kwach'an Council.

As of the 2025 general election, it is bordered by the rural ridings of Mayo-Tatchun, Kluane, Southern Lakes, Marsh Lake-Mount Lorne-Golden Horn, and Watson Lake-Ross River-Faro, as well as the Whitehorse ridings Porter Creek North and Riverdale North.
