Theodore Reservoir is a man-made reservoir along the course of the Whitesand River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The lake was formed with the building of Theodore Dam in 1964. The reservoir and dam were named after the nearby community of Theodore. Whitesand River is the primary inflow and outflow for the reservoir. Lawrie Creek, which begins in the Beaver Hills, flows into the lake on the western side near the dam.

While there are no communities on the lake's shore, there is a regional park and a Bible camp on the western side. The lake is accessed from Highways 651 and 726 and nearby communities include Springside and Good Spirit Acres. Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park is 19 kilometres (12 mi) to the east.
