Lake Plantagenet is a lake in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[5]

The name of the lake commemorates the House of Plantagenet.[6] Its name in the Ojibwe language is Ozaawindibe-zaaga'igan (Yellow-head Lake), named after Ozaawindib, an Ojibwe who guided Henry Schoolcraft to the nearby Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake), renamed by Schoolcraft Lake Itasca.[7]
