Lake Geneva est une localité du comté de Walworth dans l'État du Wisconsin, aux États-Unis. Elle comptait 7 148 habitants en 2000. Il s'agit d'une station touristique située au bord du Geneva Lake, au sud-ouest de Milwaukee.

Le lac et sa ville doivent leur nom à la cité de Geneva (New York) à proximité du lac Seneca. Pour éviter la confusion avec la ville toute proche de Geneva (Illinois), Geneva fut rebaptisée Lake Geneva puis le lac à son tour Geneva Lake. En pratique les deux formes sont utilisées pour le lac, mais uniquement Lake Geneva pour la cité.
