Putra Lake (GPS: 5.37191, 100.55958) or Tasik Putra is a lake in the heart of Kulim, Kedah. As with so many other man-made lakes in the country, Putra Lake is the result of tin mining that was carried out in the area, as early as the 1850s. It is one of the tin mines in Kulim, apart from those at Kampung Bukit Besar, Karangan, Terap and Kelang Lama.

The area around Putra Lake was beautified and turned into the Kulim Lake Garden, or Taman Tasik Bandaran. In the evening, clusters of hawkers ply their trade in the open-air area within sight of the lake.
