Lake Calero is an artificial lake about 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Rancho Cordova, California in the United States.

The lake is formed by Calero Dam, built in 1982 across Crevis Creek. Its waters reach the San Francisco Bay by way of Deer Creek, the Cosumnes River, the Mokelumne River, and the Sacramento River.
