Kishi Koskopa (Kazakh: Кіші Қосқопа; Russian: Малая Коскопа) is a salt lake in Nauyrzym District, Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan.

The lake is located 24 kilometers (15 mi) to the southwest of Mereke. The area is quite desolate, with few settlements.

The name Koskopa in the Kazakh language means "Double Kopa" —"Kopa" referring to a lake that seasonally becomes a salt marsh overgrown with reeds and sedges.
