The Secret of Convict Lake is a 1951 black-and-white Western film. The film was directed by Michael Gordon, produced by Frank P. Rosenberg and music by Sol Kaplan.

A small group of escaped convicts led by Glenn Ford and Zachary Scott travel over mountains during a snow storm while being tracked by authorities. The gang find a small town currently populated only by women. The women agree to let the fugitives stay in town, under armed guard, until the storm is over and then they must leave. The men agree but the situation is complicated when it is suspected that one of the criminals may have left a stash of cash in the area. The women guard the men at gun point and wait for the town's men to return so they can rid themselves of the dangerous men.

The film tells a fictional history of the real-life location, Convict Lake.
