Lake Geneva is a city in Walworth County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 7,148 at the 2000 census. A resort city located on Geneva Lake, it is southwest of Milwaukee, and popular with tourists from metropolitan Chicago and Milwaukee.

The city operates under a mayor-council form of government. The city has recently annexed a large tract that will expand it around the south shore of Geneva Lake.

The lake and town were originally named after the town of Geneva, New York, located on Seneca Lake, in which early settler John Brink saw a resemblance. Geneva, to avoid confusion with the nearby town Geneva, Illinois, was renamed Lake Geneva; later the lake was renamed Geneva Lake. In practice both forms are used for the lake, but never for the city.

The hobby game company TSR was founded here and held the its gaming convention Gencon (named for the city) here, giving Lake Geneva the sobriquet "The Mecca of Roleplaying Games".
Lake Geneva is host to the United States National Snow Sculpting Competition. The competition takes place during the town's annual Winterfest weekend.
Just outside the city to the east is the Grand Geneva Resort, a former Playboy Club.
Lake Geneva hosted various types of races at the Lake Geneva Raceway from 1963 to 2006.
